Increase pacman's connection timeout on high-latency networks
Hi,
as I depend on a very laggy mobile connection, the 10 second timeout pacman uses for downloads has become an issue. Is there a way to increase that timeout? Reissuing the command every few minutes for a 20MB package is tedious, at least resumed downloads allow me to sync packages at all.
Regards,
clonejo

Re: Increase pacman's connection timeout on high-latency networks
don't think pacman.conf has an option for that, but you could use a customized Xfer command .
-connect-timeout SECONDS Maximum time allowed for connectiontransfer
something like this should work for you :
XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - -f -connect-timeout SECONDS %u > %o(replace SECONDS with desired value)
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
