Seems like pkg.bme0 mirror is down/unreachable. Currently I am connected to South Africa. Any news on the EU mirror of why it is down? I am located in UK and I am continually being directed to pkg0.nyi.freebsd.org and pkg0.isc.freebsd.org starting this March. This has resulted in very poor performance running pkg upgrade I should be getting 2Mb/s I seem to only get 100's Kb/s on a regular basis, because these mirrors are too far away.
I am very unfamiliar with DNS but the SRV records I am getting from drill have equal priority and weight for each of the pkg mirrors. So the selected mirror is essentially random?

I am afraid I don't believe that any more.
Log in to router and enable PING on external WAN. For some reason speedtest.net had no problem detecting my IP without this enabled so I'm still not happy with the remedy. On April 22nd we deployed a new mirror in Europe (pkg0.pkt.freebsd.org in Amsterdam) and modified the geo-load balancer to send 2/3rds of the traffic from Europe to this mirror, and the remainer to the existing BME mirror (after it was restored following a downtime in March). This seemed to alleviate the problem, but lately there have been continued reports of slowness. I have temporarily removed the BME mirror from the pkg mirror list for Europe until we have get BME some additional disks to improve its IO performance. Is this still a problem? (Going through old mirror-related tickets.) I had issues in the past but it seems a lot better now with the extra Amsterdam mirror Sounds like this was resolved. Thanks for reporting. Please let us know if this happens again. Hello, BME mirror is terribly slow again. Checked it from Poland from couple different ISPs. Can't get more than 16kB/s of download. I manually switched to Packet and it's much, much better. I'll take a look at bme again. I rebuilt the zpool on peter.bme.freebsd.org as mirrored pairs instead of a raidz in February. This should have improved performance. Since then, we've also swapped out some disks. As far as I can tell, this machine should be performing reasonably well again. Has anyone noticed it being slow recently? Haven't had any issues with pkg for some time now. The Amsterdam mirror addition made quite the difference. Thanks for confirming! I'll close this bug now. Please file a new bug if new issues come up so we can look into them. |
