mirror.msys2.org is slow
Closed this issue · 7 comments
As suggested by https://github.com/msys2/msys2.github.io/blob/source/web/dev/mirrors.md#mirrors I'm reporting that the default mirror of mirror.msys2.org is excruciatingly slow. Transfers run at a few tens of kB/s, which make installs take a very long amount of time.
Slow mirrors such as this should be deprioritized.
Can you paste the output of:
curl -I https://mirror.msys2.org/distrib/msys2-x86_64-latest.exe
(so we know which mirrors you get redirected to)
Sure:
$ curl -I https://mirror.msys2.org/distrib/msys2-x86_64-latest.exe
HTTP/2 302
alt-svc: h3=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-29=":443"; ma=2592000

location: https://mirror.archlinux.tw/MSYS2/distrib/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20230318.exe
server: Mirrorbits/v0.5.1-31-geeea0e0-dirty
So the URL that is extremely slow is https://repo.extreme-ix.org/msys2/distrib/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20230318.exe
thanks.
(somewhat related, sadly our Singapore mirror is down for the last 3 weeks and they don't respond to emails)
I've sent them an email and they are looking into it. I've disabled the mirror redirect for now.
The India server will be fixed only at the end of May and I disabled it now.
For the Singapore one I've asked here since I got no reponse by email: nushackers/nushackers-site#566
I've added a small test to catch such broken mirrors in the future: msys2/msys2-main-server@9e7badb
