Hello,
I am experiencing a strange problem on one of my machines. Once I update this
machine, downloading of headers is very slow (sometimes 1 kb per minute)
while the rpm's come in at high speed (>1Mb per second). Could there be any
explanation for this? (On another machine with FC6 I have no such problems.)
I already posted this message on the yum-devel mailing list, but Seth Vidal
<skvidal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> suggested that I ask this question on the yum
mailing list. He did mention that it was probably due to an involved firewall
("it (the firewall) is giving you fits about the byte-range requests.").
Has anybody experienced similar problems? If yes, how can it be solved?
I experienced the similar today on an i386 vmware guest, that is on
kernel-2-6-18.. from mid december. Doing just update kernel, the
repodata and header download took ages, while the 15MB kernel took only
1.5 mins.
Maybe it is a web proxy is causing problems. The ISP may have added one,
that operates transparently {almost}. Perhaps a yum -d 15 will provide
sufficient information to analyze further.
