[opensuse-factory] mirror system not checking for existence
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. When was the last time download.opensuse.org actually checked that any of the files were on the redirected site? I have gotten files from other sites (and some misses), but the above site seems to always get a miss. 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. 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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
