Hi, since I upgraded to pacman 3.4.0 I notice a strange behavior in the way pacman integrates with my local mirror server. First, pacman opens a new ftp connection for every download, which spams the logs a lot. Second, pacman doesn't seem to close those connections either at all, or at least not in a timely fashion. This results in pacman not being able to download more than a hand full of packages before my ftp won't let it connect anymore. The server-log says: Aug 18 00:42:38 titan proftpd[4666]: titan.huntemann.uni-oldenburg.de - MaxInstances (30) reached, new connection denied over and over while pacman switches to the next mirror for every download. The pacman frontend clyde exhibits the same behavior, so I suspect the culprit is somewhere in libalpm. Pacman prior to 3.4.0 did not show this behavior and all downloads worked fine. Greetings, Alex --
