Still not entirely fixed I don't think. e.g., when I open https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ click on an iso's details link, then click on "Map showing the closest mirrors" I get a map with 4 markers, one of which ID's my location in FL (extreme SE USA), and 3 others, numbered 1, 2 & 4, all of which are located in Europe, and up to 10 times as far away as mirrors that I know exist in the USA[1].
I might not understand you correctly, but if there is currently no mirror in the US that hosts the tumbleweed directory (the provo-mirror machine is currently syncing, but not finished), download.opensuse.org can simply not provide you with more mirrors.
https://sfo-korg-mirror.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/leap/42.3/iso/ is in CA on the opposite side of CONUS, approximately 57% of the distance to the closest of those three mirrors on the other side of the Atlantic.
http://sfo-korg-mirror.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/leap/42.3/iso/openSU... (us, prio 100) ^^^ the mirror is listed for Leap 42.3, but did not contain the "right" tumbleweed iso when it got scanned two days ago. I triggered a complete full scan of this mirror (which takes roughly 2h) to get the tumbleweed iso(s) listed back. Note: As we have ~200 mirrors and a full scan of each mirror takes ~2 hours (on average), I guess everyone can simply calculate the amount of time that is needed for a full scan of all mirror servers... I'm currently running up to 6 scans in parallel to get below 2 days, but as each scan eats up to 12Gb of RAM, I'm currently looking to get the scanning a bit more parallel by using multiple scanners. Here the problem starts that some mirrors only allow us to scan them from a specific IP address. I need to find out which mirrors can be scanned faster from the US or China - and if the connection to the database will not be the limitation in case I switch over to a "more closer" scanner in this countries. with kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
