Even in parallel.. if mirrors are full and not accepting connections.. there will be timeouts and several re-connection attempts needed... this takes finite time. Hopefully you can tell the difference between a mirror that is full from mirrors that are just plain dead via the messages the servers return back to your process. Full mirrors that can't be probed shouldn't be marked in the same way as dead mirrors. I have no problem informing users that a mirror is full in the webpage. But full mirrors shouldnt be removed from the dynamically created mirrorlist nor should users be encouraged to contact a mirror-admin if the mirror is full instead of dead and unresponsive. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
