Ok...this is starting to be annoying...

This is the 3rd day I'm trying to download mageia...all of the
mirrors are to far away from me (still, the closest it the one from
Prague)... apparently they all have the same problem...they're shuting
my connection down (at the beginning I'm downloading with 500-600
Kpbs, but in time my connection gets down to 5-6 Kpbs!!!!!!!!!!!). I'm
downloading again now, and, in close to 45 minutes, I've downloaded
close to 29 Mb so far...

I think there is 2 factors :

- we didn't planned to have so much people interested by yet another linux distribution, especially when there is nothing special ( and no finished design ). I guess we didn't say loudly enough "this is not interesting, this is just to start the work" :). I think we will do better next time in term of planning, a area were we should definitly improve.

- it was not planned to have a mandriva mirror breakage the same day,
forcing lots of mandriva mirrors to download again 0.5 To of data from d-c

See the graph for bandwidth : http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/munin/distrib-coffee/distrib-coffee/ifqospkt_bond0.html 1:1211 is the rsync traffic, and as you can see, there is a peak since 14/02, and this reduced the bandwith for 1:1212, the http/ftp traffic ( I have to read the qos script written by Nanar to
have this information, do not search much on the graphic )

Hopefully, this will be better once everybody will have synced the missing part.
