Slow YOU update times in 8.1
I am experiancing 15-20 minute waits on a cable connection before it displays the results where I can choose the packages. This same time occurs no matter what site I select, or if I select manual or automatic. This is on a Athlon 1800 system with plenty of ram and drive space, so it is not hardware related. I can also browse the web and get email without pause while YOU is running. I have both name servers in the resolv.conf, and my own system in hosts (although I recently added it, the problem existed before I added it). Throughput at dslreports.com shows 800+ throughput. So it does not appear the bandwidth is impaired either. Has anyone seen this and resolved it? Has it been reported to Suse? I cannot find any reference in the SDB regarding this or in this newsgroup (that I found) Doug

I find this slightly amazing, since my experience is almost diametrically opposite. I always mirror the update directory and run the update from a local nfs server, but previous versions of SuSE have still taken a long time to get the list of available patches. With 8.1 though, the initial download of available patches is almost instantaneous. Anders

If your grabbing it locally, then I would hope it was that fast :) It just took 37 minutes before it displayed the list this time. That is 10 times slower than version 8 at its worst for me. Doug

Well, you snipped the relevant bit there. I was comparing with previous incarnations of YOU, and they were dog slow even when downloading on a local LAN.

For me YOU in 8.1 is a hundred times faster than in 8.0. Anders

Hi Doug, Same here, maybe not 15-20 minutes but still very very ssslllooowww. Check out one of the alternative update tools. Don't know if fou4s works for 8.1 but apt-get certainly does, fast! regards, Marcel

I may in the future :) I would rather light a fire under Suse to fix it. I am building Gentoo right now in a terminal shell under Suse. The downloads there are fast and quick. I just have to wonder what the problem is with YOU to cause it to take that long. Doug
