[mirror] [suse-mirror] bad North American links on http://mirrors.opensuse.org/
I clicked on all the North American HTTP links on http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ trying to find which mirrors zypper should be able to find. http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/mirrorsNA20170727map.jpg shows a typical best/preferred mirrors result from opening a .mirrorlist link. Lately all such results have an Atlantic Ocean between them and my FL location near Tampa, upwards of 6600km as the crow flies to the ENE. By contrast, Provo is less than 3000km away, and most other NA mirrors are closer, such as gatech.edu in Atlanta less than 450km distant.

Hi Felix For which parts - e.g. distro, tumbleweed, ports, repos, isos?
Lately all such results have an Atlantic Ocean between them and my FL location near Tampa, upwards of 6600km as the crow flies to the ENE. By contrast, Provo is less than 3000km away, and most other NA mirrors are closer, such as gatech.edu in Atlanta less than 450km distant.

Most of what you have marked with yellow appears to be as expected - you see no tick in the "repositories" column, so they don't mirror /repositories. (or something is wrong with /repositories). For e.g. http://opensuse.cs.utah.edu/, it is a bad mirror config - the http content is not in /opensuse, just /, whereas the ftp:// side is fine. (picked at random). The ones you've marked with red are also disabled by mirrorbrain, no ticked boxes on the right. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: mirror+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Felix most of what you have marked with yellow appears to be as expected - you see no tick in the "repositories" column, so they don't mirror repositories. (or cannot properly sync it). For e.g. http://opensuse.cs.utah.edu/opensuse/, it is a bad mirror config, there is no /opensuse, only /. See https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/20964 For the ones marked in red, mirrorbrain at least knows about it, no tick marks on the right. Some are poor DNS configs, e.g. mirrors[12].kernel.org. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: mirror+owner@opensuse.org

I had about two dozen tabs open for about 64 hours that would have enabled answering. You waited more than 75 hours to reply. I don't remember. Maybe darix remembers the discussion we had in #opensuse-admin, or still has it in scrollback, and can help. He said they would investigate further on Friday, but I never got any notice anything more happened.

most of what you have marked with yellow appears to be as expected - you see no tick in the "repositories" column, so they don't mirror repositories. (or cannot properly sync it). Thus most packages from repositories and TW must traverse an ocean, as much as 3X distant as Leap OSS or Updates, to get to me.
For e.g. http://opensuse.cs.utah.edu/opensuse/, it is a bad mirror config, there is no /opensuse, only /. See https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/20964
https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/20740 got "closed" quickly with no follow-up to my comment.

I wasn't trying to suggest a lot more than that the active mirror selection for North America is rather limited, especially so for repositories. There were various complaints from people trying to upgrade to 42.3 or otherwise use repos last week, timeouts, package unavailable, and unable to access-type things. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Actually, I replied only minutes after reading your posting :-)

That seems to be the case, yes. I guess NA mirrors are less inclined to mirror tumbleweed and repositories.
For e.g. http://opensuse.cs.utah.edu/opensuse/, it is a bad mirror config, there is no /opensuse, only /. See https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/20964

Two different issues, I would say. I am not up-to-date with the mirror db situation.
For the ones marked in red, mirrorbrain at least knows about it, no tick marks on the right. Some are poor DNS configs, e.g. mirrors[12].kernel.org.
