Hi all,
As part of improvements to download.opensuse.org experience, currently new pilot service is available for using with zypper.
https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org
Its primary task is to redirect zypper requests to a mirror in client's country, similar to what MirrorBrain project does.
I've used 'mirrorcache-eu.opensuse.org' for a while, but since a couple of weeks it has become unusable. The desktop packagekit applet isn't able to update my Tumbleweed system anymore and when running 'zypper dup', it invariably requires several retries for failing downloads and it also frequently segfaults. Several systems. Neither of this was/is a problem when using 'download.opensuse.org' so I guess there is something wrong in the metadata that is returned by mirrorcache. Could it be that mirrorcache is overreporting (incomplete downloads and retry?) or underreporting (resulting in segfaults?) download size?
