Your ISP may not know, and a speedtest is useful in very limited ways - it doesn’t test connectivity to the site you’re trying to connect to, but to one of a bunch of known points on the Internet.
It’s better to use tools like traceroute and ping to determine if you have connectivity to a specific site. Those tools can be blocked (and sometimes are), but also using something like downdetector.com can be useful to see if it’s reachable from that site (again, not definitive, because it just depends on the route taken).
Another hint is try and change the configured DNS server(s). The default ones of your ISP might be overloaded at times, which might explain why you have good speed (when the domain name is resolved) and timeouts (if the DNS is not responding, irrespective of the repo address you are trying to reach).
Nothing to do I tried to change DNS SDB:Configure DNS - openSUSE Wiki then I also put the Google DNS, but the result does not change today for 606 rpm of update I had 16 timeouts, and I am forced to stay there and type “r” to try again, then it starts and randomly stops perhaps at an rpm of a few kbits, among other things it plays a strange joke on me when I type “r” to try again I have to be quick to send otherwise it disappears
Hi everybody,
I had a very similar issue only with repo downloads when I changed my ISP to Vodafone. I had tried everything and after some day I’ve found out it was the added optional security service called ‘Rete Sicura’. As there’s no way to configure that service, I opted out to disable it. I had no more issues from then. Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Stefano
I assume you missed that while the title of this topic says “Packman”, some posts further on it was made clear that this is about all repos. And thus a networking problem, not a Packman repo problem.
Unfortunately this is how I was optimistic, with the title, when I made the post it seemed to me that it was only the Packman repo, but then I saw that it was practically all of them
Could you provide the results of an mtr test to the Packman server:
# this will take at least 10 minutes
sudo mtr -o "J M X LSR NA B W V" -c 1200 -i 0.5 -TP 80 -rwbz ftp.gwdg.de
Also, it would be nice if you could perform the same test when using a different network, for example your smartphone’s Wifi hotspot (while it’s connected to cellular network only!).
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
# NOTE: the libc resolver may not support more than 3 nameservers.
# The nameservers listed below may not be recognized.
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
@enziosavio So I would change the primary ones to openDNS to start with and not use google or your router, then see if that improves, then look at adding your router back if needed (for a max of three) as the trinary one.
Whatever I do doesn’t work for example I do zypper -vvv ref -f it updates the non/Oss repo correctly and then it tells me that the Oss repo is invalid, and then it updates the Packman repo correctly, then I try again and it seems that he has fun blocking the non/Oss repo for me and doing the others correctly, and so on… it’s like a joke I can also show the screens, but it doesn’t change.
sudo zypper -vvv ref -f
