Now, problems you might have seen during the _first_ week of the 11.0 release could also be attributed to a bug we had in mirror monitoring. Our mirror monitoring had a bug that I fixed very shortly before release, but I accidentally reverted my fix by updating the same component on the mirror database server. This is regrettable and several days passed until I noticed it. The result was that we sent users not only to alive mirrors, but also to some that were dead or too slow.
Ah... interesting. That may have been what i was caught up in... I don't know. All I remember is not being able to get my new openSUSE release fix for a couple of days.
Hm, is the background of your idea that you want to spread the torrent files earlier, simply to work around expected unavailability of them? Or what's the rationale?
The idea was to have them prepped and ready to go so that we wouldn't have to join the (perceived) flood of people hitting the software.o.o site looking for a Torrent. Since, as explained, the infrastructure is in place, then it's not really required. It was simply an idea the popped out of my addled brain... an idea to try and help with distributing the initial load a little. If things are good to go with the process and tools in place, then I am all for it. Maybe we can push over the 200TB in the first 30 hours mark.
In addition, you can easily avoid all problems, if you use a metalink client to download. Just use a metalink client and download.opensuse.org, and I *guarantuee* you a download which is working, arrives correctly, and that with reasonably fast speed.
I have not yet used a metalink client. I will be though with this release. The blog entry is VERY helpful. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
