smart on the other hand simply downloads whatever RPM/s are downloadable and if it/they are not downloadable smart skips it/them and continues with downloading the rest. You then restart smart to download the missed RPMs when, for example, you come back from shopping or wake up in the morning and see that the task hasn't been completed.
Another approach would be to continue on with the other packages and retry the errant operation after the others have completed their download. Perhaps a retry counter and only fail aftery all others have completed and/or failed > 2 times.
The response of package management should depend on type of error. If server was responding and all of the sudden can't be found retry DNS resolution again. If server is below common network speed try another one. This would require some application that will establish what is average network connection speed. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
