I've just firewall blocked the telekom.ro mirror to avoid the slow download speeds. Problem remaining is that when downloading from getfedora.org I still get redirected to the http://fedora.mirrors.telekom.ro/ (http://fedora.mirrors.telekom.ro/) for the Romanian mirror, and it doesn't work because my firewall blocks the connection. Sergiu, does the change below work for you, in getting better speeds from telekom? Also my ISP has telekom as it's main provider.

Hi, sorry for the late, late, late reply. What I've done is to modify dnf.conf with the following: fastestmirror=true deltarpm=false minrate=2M timeout=5s This works better in just skipping over Telekom's mirror (or others) and using another mirror that goes faster. I have a lot of bandwidth available so usually this gets a working mirror with great speed. I guess you should adjust minrate and timeout depending on your connection and available bandwidth. Since using this, I've removed the firewall blocking of the Telekom mirror IP address.

I have deltarpm=false because it's on by default and it's annoying for me at least. I have bandwidth to use, so if deltarpm is enabled I spend more time rebuilding with drpms than actually downloading the full rpms. Andrei Amuraritei Pe Lun, nov. 23, 2015 la 00:57, Mihuleac Sergiu a scris: Hmm, why have `deltarpm off`? My problem was actually that i didn't understood that in `dnf` you must specify with mirrors to use with fastmirror, and now I've just added a few repos for alternative use, and now fastmirror just chooses the best. dnf config-manager --add-repo On 11/22/2015 12:01 PM, sirdeiu(a)bydeiu.net (mailto:sirdeiu@bydeiu.net) wrote: Hi, sorry for the late, late, late reply.

My CPU is an AMD FX 8350 so I don't think that it's too slow for drpms, but I don't want to wait on them either way. Andrei Amuraritei On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 18:55, Kevin J.
