That's quite normal when a new snapshot gets released. The mirrors will need a while to sync. As long as there are (nearly) no mirrors for the new files, the main server will/must be used, and that single server is obviously the single point of failure or at least slowness ;-) After a new snapshot is announced, wait some hours. This gives the mirrors time to catch up, and makes the download much faster. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Yes Karl, your machine has a battery!

Can we please look at ways of improving this? Its ok if you can wait 3 hrs and come back but if you need to install specific programs or do local builds as part of your job waiting 3hrs isn't really acceptable its over 1/3rd of the working day and given how frequently snapshots are getting through if its happening multiple times a week its not a good situation for tumbleweed into the future. I have also had several users complain about this to me.

Case in point it just took almost 2 hours for me to do a local build of a tumbleweed package (about 110 deps), The package in question was still building in the devel repo so a server build was also out of the question. It didn't effect me tonight but there are times when this will seriously impact workflow especially when working on reasonably urgent tasks.

And another part of the problem is, that lots of totally unnecessary data is downloaded from the already overloaded server. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-01/msg00498.html My solution is to use libzypp from home:seife:testing, which does skip the useless (for me :-) parts. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
