Hi Peter,
I've just updated to openSuse 11.1, and neither of the Thai mirrors have
mirrored the repos yet. So, I'll have to wait a bit before trying the
experiments promised above.
In the meantime, I can tell you that the prototype, using aria2 as a backend
for zypper and yast2, certainly seems to solve this bug for openSuse 11.1.
I got good, though not fantastic, speed and more importantly, no timeouts, from
the kde4.2 unstable repo.
I don't know which mirrors aria2 assigned for the kde4 unstable repo (roll on
11.2!) but I searched around manually for one, and couldn't find anything
nearby. So without the aria2 backend, I would have been stuck with kde 4.1.
I'm going to try using the email address you gave for KU to "encourage" them
get the 11.1 repos mirrored. Do you happen to have an email address for
mirror.in.th? I looked around the Burapha University site, but couldn't find
anything specific.
Thanks
Ian
