Installation Speed 100 times slower in package manager than via a web browser

Support
1

Hello, I’m a fairly new user (installed yesterday) and have managed to make my way this far without many issues. However, I’m noticing that when I have tried to install OpenJDK-21 via Add/Remove Programs, it is almost 100 times slower (400mb/s to 4mb/s)than just installing it via a web browser. How can I fix this?

Huh, what? Are you sure you’re using linux?

Perhaps take some more time and do some reading on mirrors: Manjaro Mirrors - Manjaro

Um, I think you don’t really know what a kernel is, so I’ve amended your thread title. Welcome, by the way! :vulcan_salute:

Now, the download speed of any package depends on the speed of the mirror selected. Therefore it is always best to first update your mirror list and have it select the fastest mirrors. :point_down:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu

That said, do not install any software via a web browser. GNU/Linux does not work that way. You must use your package manager — in Arch-based distributions, this is pacman, although Manjaro also comes with pamac, which can be used both at the command line and as a graphical package manager, commonly referred to as “Add/Remove Software”.

Running that fixed my issue immediately! Thank you so much! You’re right by the way, haha. I’m still fairly new to all of this. I apologize if any of post was difficult to read, English isn’t my first language.

Well, we do offer several categories for other languages in the Languages section of the forum.

If you cannot find a category for your own language there, then you can always post in the Languages category itself while adding a tag with your language to your thread title. That way, the people who do speak your native tongue can find your thread and help you. :wink:
