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.
The problem with US is not only that we miss some powerful mirrors in this region. We already discussed the possibility to have some "GeoIP based servers" hosting download.opensuse.org - but until now, our internet provider could not offer us some Nameservers that can handle requests based on the GeoIP of the requester. In a beautiful world, we would have: a) DNS servers pointing users to their closest incarnation of download.opensuse.org b) a lot of mirrors in the region which the redirector can redirect to
But isn't exactly what mirrorbrain is supposed to help do?
It should, but I've an interest in knowing what happen, basically if nscd is running one of it's job is to intercept hostnames requests and served them from it's cache. One time in US I was hit by this kind of bad/or slow mirror. Each time I try to zypper something the same was returned. rcnscd restart give me another address ....
