http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=918851 Bug ID: 918851 Summary: Installation through proxy: multilink download should be disabled Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: All OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: diego.ercolani@gmail.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- zypper uses multilink download and probably aria2 client to do it. Is correct when using download without proxy as it shoud enhance speed because of the conteporary download of "slices" from vary (5) sites at a time. When it's used a proxy, (e.g. squid) this slow down the download and misuse the band usage for the client and even for the mirrors because of the fact that squid don't allow to download only a slice of file but it try always to download all the file, so when zypper is used with proxy every file is started download 5 times so the band usage is something like 5 times the band usage without proxy I think the easy way is to put download.max_concurrent_connections = 1 in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf when proxy is enabled (also when pressing F4 in install dialog and setting the proxy) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
