Right now I get around 50 kbps on archive.mariadb.org. This means that a complete server package (with tests etc.) could take ~10 hours to download. Or even 4 days with the 6 kbps that Guillaume experiences (all roughly calculated numbers).
I understand the probems with hosting/storage (incl. costs) and mirrors refusing to host TB's of archived/historical data. But I don't understand what it has to do with bandwidth (I assume that the reduced bandwidth is not because of a lot of simultaneous downloads happening). -- Peter On Sat, Nov 12, 2016 at 4:19 PM, Sergei Golubchik <s...@mariadb.org> wrote: > Hi, Guillaume! > > On Nov 12, Guillaume Lefranc wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > > > Download speeds on archive.mariadb.org have reached an abysmal level - > > 6kb/s today.
