I've had to start rewriting an old-style fetch script for TW, -- grabbing the repo/<type>/<arch> index.htm and fetching the rpms.
Trouble is, alot of rpm's listed on download.OS.org aren't on some mirrors.
I seem to have alot of problems with this mirror seeming to always return 'not found'. http://ftp.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/ -- anytime I get 302'd to this server, I always get a 'not found' -- like for all of libreoffice.
In general, mirror issues are probably best reported to admin@o.o. Which package were you looking for above? which url?
When was the last time download.opensuse.org actually checked that any of the files were on the redirected site?
In principle, several times a day.
Is there a direct download address off of dl.os.org that I can fall-back to when a mirror doesn't have the binary and/or a way to blacklist a mirror, since once dl.os.org locks me onto that server, I'm screwed.
Provided your country has more than one mirror for the desired package, you are never "locked" to any mirror.
Worse, I know there are mirrors within 50 miles of me that are much faster. I really don't want to try to fetch things from an overseas site -- especially one that is so unreliable.
It does seem odd that you should be given a mirror in Germany - there are plenty of TW mirrors in the US, I see at least 16 (based on the IP address of the tlinx mailserver). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
