For the last couple of hours, while testing cauldron installs it fails to set up the online media at the end of the installation, despite the online media being added at the beginning of the install, and continues to fail trying to retrieve the $mirrorlist when running drakrpm-edit-media after booting into the installed system. Using the options/global options to change the downloader to wget works around the problem. In addition, there have been problems in the past with some mirrors, when using aria2c, that go away after switching to wget. While aria2c may be more efficient, when the mirror allows multiple connections, it's safer to default to wget.
I agree, I've always found that wget works better than aria2c and curl as the urpmi downloader.
or we use aria2 with metalink (needs mirrorbrain or co)
(In reply to Manuel Hiebel from comment #2) > or we use aria2 with metalink (needs mirrorbrain or co) Which we don't currently have set up. Switching the default from aria2c to wget is a very simple change that works with what we have now.
Still valid with Mga7-beta3 (March 24th) Adding mirrors for the different media always ends up with an error message saying the media couldn't be downloaded, which is misleading since they all seem absolutely usable right away (run # urpmi --auto-update in a terminal to see they are up-to-date). Pushing the priority up.
