I guess it's similar: if you have mirrors nearby, then it's fast, otherwise it's slow. I actually ran all this (without your changes to cache things, so downloading every time) on a machine in Beijing a few years ago, and most downloads were very fast (all the Debian ones at least), some other ones (some of the old Fedora ones, I think) pretty slow. > This was just the fastest way to stop this being a blocker for > anyone new to the project. Sure, that's the most important thing. We can proceed in two ways, I guess: 1. we go ahead and apply this and make it my priority to fix the rest myself (old Fedora downloads are slow for me as well, but I don't care that much) 2. Yumei gives it a try with fixing download links, if it's doable from China, and after that (probably) broken tests. If it's not doable, 1. is absolutely fine! ...let me know if 2. might make sense. -- Stefano
