Yesterday I downloaded from ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net the
upgrade to TDE 14.0.2 for wheezy. The downloading was ultimately
successful, but it required approximately twelve hours to complete.
On the other hand all my other downloads, including those from the
debian wheezy depositaries, are super fast. I am in Thailand but have
a fibre optic connection to the ISP close by and from there by
satellite directly to the rest of the world. It would consequently
seem that any slowdown is not at my end.
Is such a low speed for downloads from quickbuild normal?
Regards, Ken
I had not considered the case where users were not using the
mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org URL. The master redirector at
ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net has been updated to send users to
mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org instead of attempting local upload.
Also, the TDE project servers reside (co-located with an engineering firm)
in the United States, which unfortunately is not known for easy access to
fast Internet compared with the rest of the world, and is especially
behind compared to Asia. The engineering firm donating these resources to
TDE is looking to move to a location with much faster Internet access in
the next 6 months or so; at that time the remaining TDE access issues
should be sorted out.
Thank you for your patience while this issue was worked around, and happy
Thanksgiving alL!
Tim
