The core reason for the many cache misses is that the mirrorbrain redirector on download.opensuse.org redirects requests for the same URL to different mirror locations. I did workaround this by using one single mirror as source (which had its own problems like inconsistent state of factory). One better solution would be to mark the mirrorbrain redirection responses cachable for a certain time. Steps To Reproduce: run several times curl -I http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/suse/i586/ImageMagic... notice the different Location strings in the output Example: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2011 07:37:01 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.10 (Linux/SUSE) X-MirrorBrain-Mirror: anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk X-MirrorBrain-Realm: country Location: http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/download.opensuse.org/distribution/... Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 For IPv4 access, results do not differ here, though, so running two installs in parallel could use the cache. Of course, you also have to configure your squid correctly. e.g. maximum_object_size 400000 KB cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 20000 16 256 refresh_pattern \.rpm$ 999999 100% 999999 reload-into-ims -- 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.

Even if we would bring back the sticky mirror feature, where you get the same mirror for all your redirects as long the mirror has those files, it can still happen that with enough time between 2 installation runs that you get send to a different mirror and your cache is not used. i think the best option would be for you to use specific mirror for the installation and switch back to download.o.o afterwards. -- 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.
