We recently had a problem with sync between stage.o.o and rsync.o.o, which effectively negated the effectiveness of that second tier of mirrors and also led to uses falling back to stage.o.o in the event of not finding a better mirror.
This problem could have been ongoing as long as the last few months.
Yes. We suffer A LOT with slowness too.
rsync.opensuse.org will remain as a public mirror source and should now be able to better fulfil it's intended role as the 'mirror of last resort' for our users instead of stage.o.o, leaving more of stage.o.o's bandwidth for mirror syncing. I hope that this resolution & rebalancing of the secondary/public mirror tier over the last few days will have already sped up what you're seeing with stage.opensuse.org.
Not here (opensuse.c3sl.ufpr.br). Last update took 18h40m with a speed less than 1MB/s. That's not enough for the rate of change of your repository.
Thank you Carlos, very useful to know the issue is more widespread I've just been talking with our network guys and the plans to resolve the situation are even more advanced than I already referred to. stage.opensuse.org is hosted at SUSE HQ which is currently served via 2x 300MBit links. This is being augmented by an additional 1GBit link expected to go live on March 1st (ie. just over a week from now). Assuming that all goes well, one of the 300MBit links will be retired at the end of March This is just stage 1 of improvements. In early May we should get a new fiber to the building, which is expected to go live on June 1st at a speed no less than 4Gbit. The remaining 300Mbit link will then be retired, leaving the 1GBit link as our backup So in short, we're going to have double bandwidth in a week, and 8x our current bandwidth in a few months. I still want to investigate Niklas' suggestion because I think it's a good idea regardless, and generally we're making an effort to better keep an eye on what is going on with our mirrors, but I wanted to give a full breakdown of where we are so everyone knows where everything fits into context.
