I don't have anything like that. No table, no nothing. Just a plain list of <a href="....."> .... maybe we are not talking about the same thing?
Right. 800+ was from D.O.O., HTML tables.

Gwdg gets the job done with a simple list of links, magnitudes more efficient, same as most mirrors.
The format used will depend on which mirror you use, it is up the operator. I guess we use tablea to format it.
Tables are the main problem. High latency makes it worse.
Here's the whole 75,987,605 byte file from download.opensuse.org: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/doo152repoOSSx8664-sm.html
Right, so our file is much bigger, I get it.
Web browser handling of large tables has been poor since last century, a well established fact. Huge tables of 100k+ lines are horrific.
There isn't much we can really do about it - unless you have some suggestions?
Eradicate the tables and inline HTML markup (e.g. <td align="right">, <td valign="top">, and
![]()
75Mb does seem like a lot of noise, I agree.
It's worse than just "a lot".
I might open a ticket on that.
