As a new FreeBSD user I wonder if it is a frequent problem. I am = suddenly experiencing very slow access to the local mirrors of = pkg.freebsd.org. Even a small file takes almost a minute. Updating = FreeBSD repository catalogue (when using pkg) takes about 5-6 minutes. I = have tried using several different machines from different IPs, all = within AWS eu-west (Ireland). It was working well all week. The local mirror seems to resolve to dualstack.nonssl.global.fastly.net = (151.101.60.204) at the moment. Pingtime is not bad, 9ms, but their = server takes almost a minute before it starts serving files. Once the = file starts, it comes fast. I assume it is some sort of a server issue = at their end at Fastly, perhaps they have a dead machine in the pool = which makes it intermittent. As I am building an automated server init, this means that instead of = having a server provisioned in <5 min, it can take 20-35 mins, by which = time it is not even considered to exist by the load balancer. Is this common? Should I start (somehow) specifying individual mirrors = directly? Thank you very much for your wisdom. -- Rafal Lukawiecki Data Scientist=20 Project Botticelli Ltd
