Hi,
Lately I have been having issues while updating. Regularly I encounter something like this:
[MIRROR] glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.i686.drpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/updates/23/x86_64/drpms/glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.i686.drpm [Connection time-out] [MIRROR] glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.x86_64.drpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/updates/23/x86_64/drpms/glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.x86_64.drpm [Connection time-out] [MIRROR] NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.fc23_1.0.8-2.fc23.x86_64.drpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/updates/23/x86_64/drpms/NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.fc23_1.0.8-2.fc23.x86_64.drpm [Connection time-out] [MIRROR] glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.i686.drpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp.kddilabs.jp/Linux/packages/fedora/updates/23/x86_64/drpms/glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.i686.drpm [] [MIRROR] NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.fc23_1.0.8-2.fc23.x86_64.drpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp.kddilabs.jp/Linux/packages/fedora/updates/23/x86_64/drpms/NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.fc23_1.0.8-2.fc23.x86_64.drpm [] (1/9): NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.fc23_1.0.8-2.fc23.x86_64.drpm 472 B/s | 57 kB 02:03 (2/9): glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.i686.drpm 4.8 kB/s | 615 kB 02:08 [DRPM] NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.fc23_1.0.8-2.fc23.x86_64.drpm: done [MIRROR] glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.x86_64.drpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp.kddilabs.jp/Linux/packages/fedora/updates/23/x86_64/drpms/glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.x86_64.drpm [Connection time-out] [MIRROR] glibc-devel-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.x86_64.drpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/updates/23/x86_64/drpms/glibc-devel-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.x86_64.drpm [Connection time-out] (3/9): glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.x86_64.drpm 2.2 kB/s | 545 kB 04:03 [DRPM] glibc-2.22-7.fc23_2.22-9.fc23.i686.drpm: done
So I checked, and there is not a single mirror in India!
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/mirrors/Fedora/23
This is surprising since several technology institutes used to host Fedora mirrors. Does anyone have any ideas what happened to them? Any suggestions as to how I can instruct dnf to use mirrors closer to home (e.g. prefer south-east Asia over Asia-Pacific) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any ideas.
Cheers,
