It's easier to just skip IPv6, and I'm not sure if you can make zypper use aria2c by default?

I think this feature was removed and replaced with the Mirror Brain, but I can't find a reference for it in my archive. I'm not sure.
They're two very different things - mirrorbrain is server-side software that redirects requests to a mirror close to the client (given geo-location info), aria is a download tool.
I was just being curious, I cache the repos locally with squid, that's about as fast as it gets. But a download with aria2c was impressive - I'll have to try it at full speed.
aria2c first downloads a metadata file that contains a list of mirrors (which in suse case is dynamically generated by mirror brain), also torrent data, and a list of blocks with partials checksums. This allows the client to choose and download from several simultaneous mirrors, automatically discard those that are bad, filling the pipe, and redownload those blocks with wrong checksums. It maximizes speed and ensures correct download.
For big files it is much better than a direct download from the brain.
FYI, downloads with zypper will also be split up into multiple chunks and fetched from different mirrors. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.6°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
