What's your point and in what is it related to that ML?

Given the package names, I suspect this is a poorly-expressed complaint
about the performance of downloads from the pgdg/psqlrpms site. If that
was the original poster's intent, they would've been better served with
a post that included some minimal details like:

- Information abut their local connectivity
- mtr --report / traceroute output
- tests from other available hosts

If that wasn't the original poster's intent, perhaps it'd be worth a
second try to explain what they were *trying* to say? Was it just a joke
- 'cos if so, it was kinda flat.

Yes, it was a complaint about the download speed.

Are there any good mirrors?  Apparently, there is something slow in the

OK, that's one out of three. How about the other two?

Output from a smarter traceroute client like "mtr" would be helpful. See
below for usage. "mtr" is available for most non-braindead unixes, and
is pre-installed on many modern Linux variants.

Looks fine from here, on iiNet Western Australian ADSL2+ via local
802.11g . That latency is about what I expect for traffic from Western
Australia to Turkey via Sydney and the USA. I see similar results from
other hosts. Performance when accessing the server is fine. This sample
was taken Sat Jan 15 2011, 21:35:55 +0800 time.

OK, I'm seeing issues too now. It's transient and intermittent - sigh.
The two swear words of IT.

A later try worked. Unfortunately I don't have a timestamp for the
failed attempt, but it was some time yesterday. mtr output and
performance of downloads are presently fine, and I don't have any data
for the problematic period.

The machine is serving 40-50 Mbit/sec, and 90% of its traffic is for
pgrpms.org. I'm hosting the server in Turkey, and it is my own dedicated
machine -- but eventually it will be moved to a machine under
postgresql.org infrastructure soon, so it will be faster, I believe.
Sorry for the current setup -- it is the only machine that I can host
RPMs safely.

We are also *considering* to use FTP mirrors as RPM mirrors, too, but I
won't promise that now.

Please keep looking at http://yum.pgrpms.org for updates.

FYI, we've just had more hardware converted to the new infrastructure
platform (literally last night), so hopefully we can provision this
machine soon.
