[Bug 918851] Installation through proxy: multilink download should be disabled

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=918851 Michael Andres changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |CONFIRMED --- Comment #2 from Michael Andres --- Hard to say what's actually the best setting. The multicurl (no aria2) backend tries to prefer the fastest worker. The less worker you have, the bigger the risk that you're locked on a slow one. You could also try to disable proxy usage for specific repos by adding '?proxy=_none_' to the repo url.

An other approach on a client could be to turn off multicurl (metalink and zsync) and fall back to plain libcurl via environment variable.You could e.g add a line similar to

test -n "$http_proxy" && export ZYPP_MULTICURL=0

to your profile (unless your proxy is transparent). But there are also ways to solve this on the proxy server itself. AFAIK Squid can relay partial requests to the origin web server. An approach for caching (without warranty) is outlined here: http://wiki.jessen.ch/index/How_to_cache_openSUSE_repositories_with_Squid Not sure if the presence of a proxy always justifies 'max_concurrent_connections = 1'. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
