Hello, Does pkg's geo-dns not like Quand9's DNS? The download speed is capped under 65KB/s and the reason for my question is that this has happened a few times in the past to other users. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/pkg-is-hella-slow-not-internet-speed.84882/ https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2037 https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1707oi8/help_pkg_is_slow_packages_are_downloading_in_50kbs/ ... As for this notice "IMPORTANT: We do NOT guarantee uptime of any particular mirror. We provide SRV fallbacks for redundancy." The SRV doesn't seem to do anything, at least in my case.
