I am helping a coworker get his openSUSE 13.1 system up and running here at work. Mysteriously, when running zypper (or yast), downloading packages screeches to a near standstill. It quickly gets to where it downloads less than 100 bytes / sec. All other network activity seems fine. I tried setting
export ZYPP_ARIA2C=0
but it makes no difference. It really seems that only zypper acts this way on this network. I do not know if the environment variable still works with zypper. It was a while since I had this problem. Maybe it is no longer implemented. Anyone else have a slow zypper?
mirrorbrain does not have sufficient IPv6 geo-location data, so occasionally you get directed to a mirror in Pakistan or Bangladesh. That will, in my experience, slow everything to a trickle (when one is in Sweden or Switzerland). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
