#45350: Slow mirror: nue.de.packages.macports.org -----------------------------+------------------- Reporter: aggraef@… | Owner: cal@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: server/hosting | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------------+------------------- Comment (by aggraef@…): Replying to [comment:7 cal@…]:
Have you looked into IPv4 vs. IPv6? Your speedtest might use IPv4 and be perfectly fine while the download from the macports mirror uses IPv6 and is slow (e.g., via a tunnel or something; Windows machines have been known to advertise their Toredo tunnels on local networks, causing problems like these).
There's no Windows server on my network, and the network preferences on the Mac show nothing unusual (cf. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i1e2vn4iasuw873/Screenshot%202014-10-12%2014.37.48...). IPv6 is set to automatic and both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses seem to be configured all right through DHCP. Can anyone suggest a way to check whether the connection actually goes through IPv4 or IPv6? I must admit that I don't know how to do this. One weird thing I noticed now is that the download rate seems to depend on which file I'm trying to download. With http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/gtk3/gtk3-3.10.0_0+x11... it soon drops down to a crawl, while with the file you tried it works ok (not blazingly fast, but workable). {{{ curl -L http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/gtk3/gtk3-3.10.0_0+x11...

Can't be the disk on the Mac which is an SSD. Could it be that there is some slow or faulty harddisk on the servers there? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45350#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
