Multirust defaults to a super slow server when downloading
SirVer opened this issue · 5 comments
When running multirust update the other day, it was downloading from here:
http://static-rust-lang-org.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/dist/2015-08-16/rust-nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
which took ~30 minutes.
If I download from here:
https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/2015-08-16/rust-nightly-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
the download finishes in ~30s. I am in Europe.
Why is multirust defaulting to us-west?
multirust goes directly to s3, bypassing the cdn, when gpg is available because we have problems with the cdn becoming out of sync.
How can I skip gpg checks then? 30 minutes is just way too long.
Defeat this check to avoid downgrading to s3. Probably setting RUSTUP_DIST_SERVER=https://static.rust-lang.org/ (with the trailing slash) will work.
@brson Thanks, this worked:
RUSTUP_DIST_SERVER=https://static.rust-lang.org multirust update
With the trailing slash it did not work:
rustup: couldn't download checksum file 'https://static.rust-lang.org//dist/channel-rust-nightly.sha256'
Here's how I want to solve this: use the CDN, but when a checksum failure occurs and gpg is available, try s3.
