Why is updating so slow? I’ve had problem with just the repositories taking time to autorefresh. I found an alternate URL for Packman that sped that up a lot. Still, when I let yast2 upgrade everything (or manually do it), I get a lot of very slow transfers AND many transfers that time out. I have to retry several times for some of them.
I’m configuring this particular system for some non-geek users that aren’t going to be very patient with this.
OK, I know it’s not the network connection on my end. I have high speed cable and Firefox, ftp, e-mail and everything else run very fast. It sure looks like the repositories are very slow themselves.
Hi
Things may be still settling after the planned power outage over the
weekend. I suggest you find a local mirror rather than using the
redirector.
