Re: [arch-general] Rollback to specific date works fine -- but really slow download

I just wanted to confirm that the 300-500KiB I was getting in download was normal or if I had missed something on the wiki page. Even if slow, the archive is invaluable for circumstances just like this, and I can understand why limiting the download may help create a balance for the use of the archive. I am getting ~10MB/s right now, though also observing some missing packets and latency jumping on one of hoster’s routers to multi-second range despite normally being 30ms from them.

So under 512KB/s reported by you is not too fast. But I would not be concerned about that for the reason I mentioned earlier: it’s not a mirror meant for daily use.
