I've edited zypp.conf and increased the number of connections from the default of 5 to 12. It does nothing to help the download of the metadata! That seems to remain in single or low double digit rates :-( I've also increased download.min_download_speed from the default of 0 to 385. Maybe that should be in the thousands? What is, bit/sec or bytes/sec? Multiple connections? Well having multiple connections to a single site, ftp.opensuse.org to whatever, is, perhaps not exactly brilliant. Well, it seems to have improved things: now into three digit byes/sec speeds consistently. Next big batch I'll increase the download.min_download_speed further. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
