https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224616 ------- Comment #10 from sfurdal@ehelp.pl 2007-01-08 07:54 MST ------- Why You cant add download time and connection speed? Those information are very important... specially when person have a slow internet connection or there is a problem with server... Users who are waiting for something without knowing when will came the end becoming more agressive, they just put themselves into there heads some ideas that openSUSE just sucks! IMHO You should also take focus into YaST package manager! People remember 10.1... and in 10.2 its not the best, but it could be... Another features 1) maybe You colud provide internet source lists in one file, with some sections - stable - unstalble - unknown - KDE World - Gnome Wolrd or something like that, that YaST could automaticly download this file, show it with options 'on' & 'off' of course tith information about source and speed (see #3), and user could just choose preferred sources. 2) aria2 - Parallelizing Multi-Protocol Utility for Downloading Files know how to make transfer more efficient. I am not an advance programmer but I think that is possible to merge or just use this program into/with YaST, and its under GPL. So, when user add the same sources but from other servers YaST should automaticly use all of them to 'make' the speed! 3) users also should know current speed of internet installation sources – the speed tester should be merged into the YaST with also option „testing Your onw internet connection”– it could be the first graphical program to have this wonderful option. If You want to make openSUSE the best distro You should think about easing people to have more programs and not only numbers are in this matter but the speed of how fast they can get it! Of course making more details informations are not the best things for all of the users, but You could provide 2 views - Simple + Advance. If You want some example screenshots, I can make some with gimp... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
