Guys,

It is literally like Russian-Roulette updating openSuSE with the mirror pool you get with download.opensuse.org. There is at least 1 maybe more mirrors that give no more than 1-4K/s download speed. (utexas.edu is a know problem repo). This is getting ridiculous. I have had to kill 3-4 updates in the past 2-3 days when I hit one of these mirrors. It would take more than an hour to download an 800k file.

I have searched zypper.log and can't find the problem mirror this time. Where to look? Also, this has been a problem for more than a year, why aren't these mirrors being dropped or fixed? I end up having to hard-code the mirror I want just to get reasonable consistent updates. Something should be done to correct this.

Hard code them to go direct to opensuse.org might work (as long as its not some redirected thingie). I never trust mirrors if I can avoid them. I used to prefer the german suse sites. (Because they are asleep when I want updates, - less contention). -- _____________________________________ At one time I had a Real Sig.
