ixti Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hi! I know that fastpull server idea is to guarantee distfile availablility, but it's incredibly slow for me (in Spain): >>> Downloading 'https://fastpull-us.funtoo.org/distfiles/vim-8.0.1798.tar.gz' --2018-05-07 01:24:02-- https://fastpull-us.funtoo.org/distfiles/vim-8.0.1798.tar.gz Resolving fastpull-us.funtoo.org... 172.97.103.137, 2001:470:4299:0:216:3eff:feb8:dd1d Connecting to fastpull-us.funtoo.org|172.97.103.137|:443... connected.

ixti Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 While writing this ETA became 2 hours. :'-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixti Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Is there any way to disable usage of fastpull servers? It constantly super-slow for me upon @world update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixti Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Oh. I figured that out, just need to remove fastpull from gentoo mirrors in make.conf: # file: /etc/portage/make.conf GENTOO_MIRRORS="" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunk Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 While setting an empty GENTOO_MIRRORS makes portage use gentoo's mirrors with way better network performance, you may now either miss some package or size/sum mismatch any other... After some tests I've found out that: sometimes the download speed is as slow as 56kbps when this happens downloads from remote networks are still decently speedy (tried from data centers in the US and EU) running local speedtest with other servers in Santa Fe (where the fastpull server is located) don't show the same slow down I live in Granada and I think my ISP (Movistar/Telefonica) is to blame since I'm suffering also interruptions with Netflix...

Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted August 11, 2018 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I will look at doing a European mirror for fastpull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtoo Linux BDFL drobbins Posted August 12, 2018 Funtoo Linux BDFL Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 OK, I'm testing out CDN77, a worldwide content delivery network which should massively improve download speeds in "slow" areas. Please, let me know if this makes a positive difference for you. It should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
