For a while I've been working in the background to get a sponsored CDN subscription. I am happy to report that Fastly.com has agreed to sponsor the openSUSE project with bandwidth. We primarily intend to use it to improve the reachability (latency) of download.opensuse.org in various areas of the world, but of course can expand it to other usecases as well.
Hm. Although it gives a 4 hop reduction and (with that) a 25% improvement in latency numbers for German Vodafone home networks, that seems also descriptive of the lackluster peering performanace of VF. I digress.. Now, if only libzypp would do parallel downloads, the extra latency of d.o.o would be much less of a non-issue since one would be offered at least a handful of files most of the time... ;^)
