ilia_kr Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Is there any way to test a urpmi mirror site for speed before actually downloading a package? The are no mirrors in my region so i tend to use european ones (german, czech) and some of them are reaaly slow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ping them from the CLI first. The ping values will show you which server would be the best mirror for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always used the Esslingen, Germany mirror. I know there are a couple of mirrors here in Finland, but I've never had problems with Esslingen. Try that one. Of course it depends on your connection speed and the quality of the network over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
