This is not a "polemic" mail. Just want to raise awareness. I have been trying to test updating from 3.5.13.2 to
R14.0.0 over the
last 3 days, but the package download speed has been *ridiculously*
slow for several big packages (like tdelibs for example), something
like 821 B/s or 1109 B/s just to give some numbers. Not to mention the
amount of timeouts I received.
I understand the financial situation of the project (so the absence of
any type of polemic complaint), but we are definitely not doing any
good to us with this situation. Potential new users may just turn away
when they try to download Trinity.
IMO, in the future we must make sure that a package-wise fully updated
mirror system is working properly before announcing the next release.
Our primary mirrorservice.org mirror *was* working a couple days before
release as far as I could tell. Then it just stopped downloading R14
packages and started re-downloading the CD images--it still hasn't gotten
around to downloading the remaining R14 packages. In addition it
downloads each file at least twice, sometimes more. As a result of these
issues I am looking to replace the primary mirror.
The mirroring architecture is such that our primary mirror downloads
directly from the TDE servers, then all secondary mirrors download from
the primary. Adding additional mirrors therefore does not increase the
load on the limited TDE server uplink.
