[Bug 444929] New: Download resume support for packages
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444929 Summary: Download resume support for packages Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ruchir.brahmbhatt@ecosmob.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Community User Yast2 is great tool for package management. One thing I think should be implemented to make it more usable. There are times when I install or update any package and if internet connection is interrupted, I have to retry or skip the package. If package is big, retry results in more time being spent in downloading same package. In worst case again connection is interrupted and we can't download the package at all. I have encountered the condition where after 5-10 attempts also package can not be downloaded. I think if download resume mechanism is implemented in Yast2, it'll be great feature so we get one more option to resume download along with skip, retry and abort so that package download will start from where it was interrupted and we don't waste time downloading big package again. I think this should be easy to implement as several tools like wget, kget, etc already have this support and this can be implemented in Yast2 also. -- 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.
