Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable openSUSE-10.3: Rejected by Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov@novell.com> reject date: 2007-07-25 15:20:32 reject reason: Out of time. Postponing. Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable openSUSE-11.0: Rejected by Jiri Srain <jsrain@novell.com> reject date: 2008-03-28 13:51:03 reject reason: Out of resources for 11.0. Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Important openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov@novell.com> reject date: 2008-07-01 11:34:46 reject reason: Postponing, needs downloading refactor. Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: YaST/YOU times out too easy when downloading large packages like kde- base (14 MB) over a single ISDN connection. Please cache the half downloaded package so I don't have to start from the beginning again. See http://bugzilla.suse.de/show_bug.cgi?id=9740 (http://bugzilla.suse.de/show_bug.cgi?id=9740) http://bugzilla.suse.de/show_bug.cgi?id=278507 (http://bugzilla.suse.de/show_bug.cgi?id=9740) Discussion: #1: Gerald Pfeifer (geraldpfeifer) (2006-06-30 17:40:31) Klaus, do you now whether this is still an issue? #2: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) (2006-06-30 18:38:23) We still have very large packages (kernel, OpenOffice_org) which might not download completely in one go. #7: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2007-11-23 10:32:46) Related to commit-refactoring. #9: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2008-06-12 20:21:33) Klaus, are you still running ISDN? just kidding :-) Stano, please your opinion on workload - is this easily achievable? if not, there are hgher priorities. #10: Stanislav Visnovsky (visnov) (2008-06-20 13:10:21) (reply to #9) Jiri, could we get estimate for this? #11: Jiri Srain (jsrain) (2008-08-04 08:59:34) (reply to #10) Since curl itself does support resuming download, then this feature should not be hard to be implemented. #12: Ruchir Brahmbhatt (ruchir) (2009-01-17 12:07:25) I also vote for this feature. #13: Dmitry Mittov (michael_knight) (2009-01-19 09:01:09) It is also a great problem when you use slow mirror. download.opensuse. org redirects me to one of yandex mirrors (score 20). And I have timeout on big packages. #14: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) (2009-01-21 18:17:13) I'd vote at least for a way to change the timeout settings for YaST or it doesn't solve the problem? #15: Alam Aby Bashit (init7) (2009-01-22 09:35:17) I'd like to vote this feature implemented in 11.2. You surely want to have resume capability if you have unreliable yet slow internet connection for say, updating KDE 4.2 :) #16: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2009-01-22 15:14:44) (reply to #15) Please stop this "I vote for this" or "+1" or "mee too" comments. There is no voting system in FATE yet, but following a discussion about "I want this too" makes hard to evaluate features. #17: James Mason (bear454) (2009-01-24 06:05:01) Could this be accomplished using a bittorrent backend instead of curl ? + #18: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2009-01-30 15:31:33) (reply to #17) + ISDN is already slow as it is. I would not want to spend more time + downloading just because of the metadata traffic that is going to + happen. Not to mention what happens if there are no peers around or + they configured themselves to upload-limit themselves. Still, most + download.opensuse.org downloads are faster than a torrent for me. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/120326
