Am I the only one in the US to find this to be more bad than good? Just about any time I use download.opensuse.org repos instead of a specific mirror for a lengthy dup, I find either slower than average download speeds, and/or find downloading halted by errors that do not self correct via retries. Mirrorbrain tries to prefer nearby mirrors. I think it's long been known

The solution is not to blame mirrorbrain - which is great software IMO, and prevents a lot of problems other organisations are always fighting with* - but to adjust the mirror priorities (contact admins when you see a poorly performing mirror), or even better, to get some more performant US mirrors online. Tejas *Mirrorbrain does balancing the load across mirrors while giving users only one url, ensuring only up-to-date verified files are served, automatically providing metalink + torrent downloads of all files, providing hashes, auto-generating up-to-date mirror lists (just append "?mirrorlist" to any download.opensuse.org file URL). Also it can filter and sort directory listings and do other clever things. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
