Hello all, I just setup packman yast repository and started downloading. I have 1.5mb/256k DSL and the downloads are taking ages. Eg over 1 hour to install mplayer and a few associated bits. Is this site always slow ? I tested a download from another site and it came down at 160kbs. Cheers, Brian.

Just means that the site is very busy. Download speed means little if the site you are downloading from has too many people downloading files from it. You might see if there is a mirror site you can use. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

There are a few mirror sites available. They are all listed in ftp://packman.links2linux.de/pub/packman/MIRRORS -rauch
