Wait... Per, are you saying that download.opensuse.org is actually some sort of round-robin load balancing address, where each access may go to some different mirror?
Yes, that's pretty much it, but in an intelligent fashion. It's running mirrorbrain which directs you to a geographically close mirror. There's probably some load balacing involved too.
Yes.
I understand that it can also give the downloader information to download from several mirrors in parallel, metalink type.
The geolocation using IPv6 doesn't work right, I heard, so that you can get redirected to a mirror on the other side of the globe, with slow results...
Yup - I believe(!) the issue is that there is no IPv6 geolocation database. Given the lack of people reporting this issue, I guess we can conclude that IPv6 deployment among openSUSE users is negligible. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
