Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: postdoc38@yahoo.fr QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SUSE/2.0.0-1.1.3 SeaMonkey/2.0 yast2 sw_single takes a long time (1-2 minutes) to download the repositories xml files. Then even ridiculously small packages take 30 seconds or so to download. There is actually no downloading (like a timeout) for a long time, then a burst of packets being received. The culprit seems to be aria2c, as the same happens if aria2c is invoked directly. Removing aria2c altogether makes everything work fast and smooth. I had the same slow downloads with FF/seamonkey, and could only solve it by disabling ipv6 in the browser AND adding ipv6.disable=1 in the boot options. I don't see an option to disable ipv6 in aria2c, but there is clearly need for one...
