ISO Downloads are Slow

Computer_Email23 · 10 April 2021 03:44

Downloading with IDM in Windows from sourceforge…speed is fine.

moson · 10 April 2021 08:15

Yeah, in the meanwhile it spread out to some more sourceforge mirrors.

Choose a different mirror:
Auto-select
JZT KFT (Mezotur, Hungary, HU)
Liquid Telecom (Kenya, KE)
CFH Cable (United States, US)
Versaweb (Las Vegas, NV, US)
PhoenixNAP (Tempe, AZ, US)
Free France (Paris, France, FR)

I got the idea this morning. Perhaps create an electron tool so that it downloads the parts, and combine them on the computer? Elecron because then it’s cross-platforrm.

It can even the be built into manjaro-tools? And/or a CLI script/tool might even be viable? I know I’d like it.

philm · 10 April 2021 08:43

Here is a release of the current stable branch from early this morning:

Mirdarthos · 10 April 2021 08:57

Thank you. Not necessary for me, though. I’m updated already, and don’t download the ISO every time anyway.
Was following this thread yeterday and woke up with the idea, 's all.

The thing is really don’t understand is why torrents aren’t even available now. While yes, the swarm would need a bit of time to get really operational (generally 12-24h, with the kickstart help of @moson we generally would be closer to 12h),it would atleast provide a low cost and low bandwidth solution. Heck, the torrent files could simply be hosted on the manjaro.org webserver, since they are so small. opentrackr.org and dht would do the rest.
Currently the iso’s cannot even be downloaded from the website. I keep getting 404 errors, since it adds a superfluous /download to the end of the link.

Takei · 10 April 2021 17:16

@moson has the torrents for the newest iso’s available on his server.
https://manjaro.moson.org/torrents/
Maybe they could be linked to on the download page?

moson · 10 April 2021 18:04

@Takei Just made new torrent files. We’ve added a webseed.

edit
i3 and Cinnamon 21.0 ISO’s have been added.

philm · 11 April 2021 15:29

Well, people always think providing ISOs for free download is actually free ?!? Even providing fast download is nowadays somehow expected. So we used SourceForge since over 9 years now. About 3 years or so we switched to OSDN. Both services are great and are financed via showing the user Ads when downloading. Speed might depend on the location of their mirror network. But we love them for supporting FOSS projects and support us in that way, regardless the speed might be.

Insights with CDN77 since 24 hrs testing them

I set it up on Saturday the 10th to test it out. CDN77 is a content delivery network with a 60 Tbps+ global network, low latency, uncompromised security and customer focus. The later I already experienced, as we hit the 1TB traffic limit of the 14 days trial within hours. Therefore they extended it to a 30 TB traffic limit for now. In the email they also mentioned that the last two hours, more than 93% of your content was delivered directly from the cache and performance should improve further in the next couple of hours.

Trial created: 09 Apr 2021- Trial expires: 23 Apr 2021 - Traffic used: 12.8 TB - Traffic capacity: 30 TB

So in under 24 hrs we already managed to blow the 1 TB original trail traffic capacity and we will blow the extension pretty soon too.

So looking at prices so far it might cost us more than the whole hosting costs we have with our current hoster (website, wiki, forums, communication services). Therefore we are in close contact with CDN77 to see if a sponsor/partnership with them will be possible.

Keep in mind that we only added our Official ISOs to the CDN77 storage on which we currently use 19.8 GB of the 50 GB free storage.

We can also see the peak times are around 19:30 CEST. Let’s see how day two might look like. For sure we will keep you all updated on the process.

Mirdarthos · 11 April 2021 19:08

No offence meant people. You just need a little patience. Not even a lot. Chill, and smell the roses. Unless you’re allergic to the pollen, like me. Then it’s a bad idea, and you should do something else that’s not moan and groan about a FREE service.

That’s right. It’s FREE.

Takei · 12 April 2021 19:57

Yes. That is why you should add the torrents to the download page again. I had been seeding them for months and on average needed about 20GB of Upload per day from me. Imagine if 50-100 people do that and about 50-80% of the load that is on the cdn is distributed to the community that is willing to help. That would make any negotiations way easier and more fruitful.
So finally put the torrents back on the download page and stop trying to put all the load on 1 service.
moson is even willing to host the .torrent files and you simply need to link them.

Nice that torrents are back. Thanks. I’ll help seeding them…

Any plans to get the community editions onto that cdn77 platform as well or do they stay on sourceforge?

philm · 19 April 2021 09:58

We will use SF as an archive. on CDN77 we will also add community editions as we go. Sadly we can’t list there the folders, as he host is not a website hoster.

moson · 19 April 2021 10:53

Ok, cool.

Small remark on the torrents: Maybe for the next releases, increase the piece/chunk size from 256 KB to something like 1 / 2 MB. That’s a bit more reasonable for those huge ISO files (less overhead…).
