Pacman update tooooooo slow

djomla · 2013-11-21 11:44:56

I have problem 4 days in a row. I tried with mirror list change, last mirror list, tried also with various mirrors to put on top of list, from Germany, USA, Australia, France...none of them are working. When I try to do pacman -Syu , some of error that i got is:

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.de.leaseweb.net : Resolving timed out after 10519 milliseconds
error: failed to update core (download library error)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.de.leaseweb.net : Resolving timed out after 10519 milliseconds
error: failed to update extra (download library error)

This is my pacman.conf file:

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[archlinuxfr]
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
#Server= http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch

#[archlinuxcn]
#The Chinese Arch Linux communities packages.
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
#Server = http://repo.archlinuxcn.org/$arch

#[herecura-stable]
# additional apps not found in community
#SigLevel = PackageOptional
#Server = http://repo.herecura.be/herecura-stable/$arch

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

and last server that I`m using in mirror list file is Server = http://mirror.de.leaseweb.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

I tried also with deleting all cache from pacman cache folder, with *.part file.

Last night was working fine, but this morning again, same issue.

Try a different mirror.

djomla · 2013-11-21 11:56:03

That is the last mirror that is showing on Arch site that is the fastest. I tried with USA, Australia, France...same issue. Toooooo slow, < 1Kb/s. My internet connection works fine, hdd is fine...I really don`t know what could be the problem.

Lone_Wolf · 2013-11-21 13:40:15

djomla, you'll need to give us some more info.

what ping-times do you get with those mirrors ?
What ping times do you get from other sites that do work ?

If you download files manually from those mirrors, do they give normal dowloadspeed ?

Try a different download agent. Experiment with the "XferCommand" option in pacman.conf.

djomla · 2013-11-22 09:53:10

For example, thism orning :: Synchronizing package databases... went fine, but when it gets to the point where download should start, my download speed was bellow 1Kb/s:

error: failed retrieving file 'iana-etc-2.30-4-any.pkg.tar.xz' from mirror.de.leaseweb.net : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds---------------------------------------]   9%
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed retrieving file 'youtube-dl-2013.11.21-1-any.pkg.tar.xz' from mirror.de.leaseweb.net : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds-------------------------------]   7%
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (download library error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

This is happening also when I change mirror.

You have to comment out mirror.de.leaseweb.net and try again.
Post the output of 'pacman -Syu --debug'.

djomla · 2013-11-22 10:07:40

But when I comment it out, It cannot update, because I`m using this mirror.
Output of --debug is too long and I cannot select it all, here it is last lines of it:

Try using a different mirror ...
Save the output to a file and post it here or upload it somewhere else and post a link.

djomla · 2013-11-22 10:26:58

Somehow it wont put all output into log or txt file, so I set up terminal to show thousands of line to scroll

And this is when I try to do Syy:

karol · 2013-11-22 11:30:56

Are you using any XferCommand now?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1115667

djomla · 2013-11-22 11:52:55

Following that thread, I found out that I don`t using any XferCommand, but there is .db.sig files into my /var/lib/pacman/sync/ directory. Followed post #23, I deleted those files, and after -Syy they came back again. So, I deleted them again and changed mirrors to Netherlands first in the list, and now it works fine. I just wonder if it going to be for good. Because this problem is appeared by itself, I have nothing changed into mirrors list.

karol · 2013-11-22 11:56:18

Changing the mirrors was the solution to most such threads, some people said it went away w/o them doing anything.

djomla · 2013-11-22 12:00:35

i`ll mark this treat as solved, but if I got some other errors, is it OK to ask here again?

x33a · 2013-11-22 12:41:28

Yes, it's okay to ask again, but only if you have tried all the things you learnt this time
