I just waited 13.5 minutes for http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/x86_64/ to completely load in SeaMonkey, 11.5 minutes before it even started to paint anything, 75,987,605 bytes of html. This is just after it took 45 minutes between submitting a new bug, and succeeding to add 3 additional attachments (in 4 parts: 3 15.2 initrds, one too large for acceptance which had to be split) to B.O.O.: http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1161238
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/x86_64/
took 5 seconds to load html, 2,890,366 bytes.
Something is very wrong that opensuse.org is setup to require such gargantuan HTML and 16000% longer load times.
Felix, that did not come from opensuse.org, but from ftp.gwdg.de. 5 seconds to download - you really think that is so bad? For myself just now, it took 1 second, but I'm a lot closer to Goettingen than you are :-)
Also, that page lists 19623 files for download, on average 150 chars per file.
I don't know how you calculated this,
I just downloaded the index file, and grepped for lines containing 'href'. There are 19652 - file size is 2890366 - divided, by 19623 = 150.
but lines like this 800+ one shouldn't be necessary: <tr><td valign="top">
I don't have anything like that. No table, no nothing. Just a plain list of <a href="....."> .... maybe we are not talking about the same thing? http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/x86_64/ The format used will depend on which mirror you use, it is up the operator. I guess we use tablea to format it.
Here's the whole 75,987,605 byte file from download.opensuse.org: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/doo152repoOSSx8664-sm.html
Right, so our file is much bigger, I get it.
There isn't much we can really do about it - unless you have some suggestions?
Eradicate the tables and inline HTML markup (e.g. <td align="right">, <td valign="top">, and
75Mb does seem like a lot of noise, I agree. I might open a ticket on that. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
