Description:
The archlinux FTP installation fails due to the fact that im not able to dowmload anything with a decent speed. packages.txt is 18kb and downloads in ~100 sec if youre lucky. No matter which server i use the speed is pathetic. If it manages to download pacman (after a long long time) it fails right after when it tries to fetch the packages. Additional info: My NIC is an ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 and uses the tulip module, I dont use DHCP but define my IP address, gateway, DNS etc. manually, i dont use any proxy stuff and im sure the settings are correct. Steps to reproduce: insert Archlinux Don't Panic FTP installation CD, enter shell , execute /arch/setup choose FTP/HTTP installation, Configure Network, Choose NIC, dont use DHCP, enter IP address (i use 192.168.1.2), network mask (default), broadcast (default), gateway (192.168.1.1) and DNS. partition hd's, set mountpoints, select packages, choose server ( i tried more than 10 ). sometimes (rarely) it reaches the point where u are about to select packages right after downloading pacman but fails right after that |
This task depends upon

i used 4 different FTP ISO's during the last week and the only one that installed without any problems whatsoever was the 0.8 one. Duke had the above, Linuxtag only the locale failure and Don't Panic what i explained in the bug report..
this is weird too: "sometimes (rarely) it reaches the point where u are about to select packages right after downloading pacman but fails right after that"
