I already reported this, but not at the best forum. So yum, similarly to rpm, does not work with publicfile's httpd and ftpd. At the end of my message you will see one motivation why I (and many other people) care about publicfile. Here is what I get for httpd # yum info Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for: http://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file http://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info [Errno 6] ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong The strace output is at http://www.csi.hu/mw/yum.strace It seems yum does not like Transfer-Encoding: chunked Here is what I get for ftpd # yum info Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base retrygrab() failed for: ftp://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info Executing failover method failover: out of servers to try Error getting file ftp://moni.msci.memphis.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] 426 Transmission failure: not a directory The strace is at http://www.csi.hu/mw/yum.ftpd.strace Here is why I care about publicfile. Connecting from my bellsouth DSL account, I get publicfile's ftpd: $ time ncftpget ftp://moni.csi.hu/pub/emacs-20.7-1memphis.i386.rpm . emacs-20.7-1memphis.i386.rpm: 11952368 bytes 144.29 kB/s real 1m22.307s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.380s vsftpd: $ time ncftpget ftp://moni.csi.hu/pub/emacs-20.7-1memphis.i386.rpm . emacs-20.7-1memphis.i386.rpm: 11.40 MB 50.28 kB/s real 3m53.823s user 0m0.050s sys 0m0.490s Thx for any help, Mate -- --- Mate Wierdl | Dept. of Math.
