That is very odd. By default, zypper will use chunked/segmented downloading spread over multiple mirrors. Your corp firewall will only see individual segments from different servers, never a single complete file - so the failure is happening on bits of the files only. Very odd.
Can't be, because on retries the chunks would be different, no?
No, the chunks remain the same. For example, one 10Mb file split into 40 segments of 256K - 40 individual downloads. If one segment fails, it is retried, that's all. Might be worth disabling the chunking, I don't know if that is possible.
Ah, I see. You mean the chunks would be the same each time.
Are you sure the checker can't reconstruct the file? Some places the download occurs at an internal server, and the user machine sees nothing till after the end, when that machine does a virus check. Other times the download stalls at 99% and never ends. The name Ironclad comes to my mind.
IronPort. This download and check by the scanner is what I have been told is done here. The client does not see this.
And the files do seems always to stop at >90%. Which I have always thought odd. But when it is checking the files this way, maybe that is what happens. Maybe the check is happy if it just keeps the download from completing. That may be enough to stop most downloads. No idea.
To be honest. Your IT guys should just fix, disable or replace their scanner. They are professionals and shouldn't have installed such broken scanner in the first place. As a work around you could use rsync to mirror repos from ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse which is encrypted ssh traffic and they would not be able to scan any files. But I'm almost sure that IT guys who are installing useless virus scanners would also block outgoing ports (ssh). cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
