Retropie slow download updates for today?
-
Hi so I'am downloading some updates today for retropie and its going very slow. Is Github being slow for anyone else or is it possibly my Linux mirror being slow today?
-
@redbatman It depends on your Pi system and what you have installed that needs to update. I started mine at 17:25 EST and it is almost 35 minutes in. Everything zipped along until CGenius started updating and that has easily taken up half of the time and also took forever to build on install so I expect it. Actually it all just finished at 36 minutes runtime.

@thedatacereal Normally when I update my files from setup script it normalmy take 5 to 8 mins. Now today it took as long as an half an hour. I can download themes quick though suprisngly. But I did notice themes downloading/updating a little slower today.

Maybe you just had some bad luck or some home network hiccups. For everything I have on mine, it went as expected, if not faster now that I have a 3B+.

@thedatacereal well this happened to me before in the past. Not that often but when it did I thought it was my Linux mirror something. Do you download from the US or you in the UK.
-
Still happening today. Anyone here know how to do mirror checks or change the mirror download server since some of the sites I have gone to haven't been all that helpful
-
@redbatman What operations is slow ? The Raspbian packages download or the RetroPie packages download ?
-
@mitu retropie packages.

-
@mitu Unfortunately I don't know how to force over IPV4
-
@redbatman Just run the commands above
# Should try IPv6 if available wget https://files.retropie.org.uk/binaries/stretch/rpi3/emulators/advmame.tar.gz # Should download over IPv4 wget -4 https://files.retropie.org.uk/binaries/stretch/rpi3/emulators/advmame.tar.gz -
@mitu Okay I will try this later. Right now last week of college and gotta study. Gonna be a long week.

@mitu Hey I wanted you to know that when I checked for updates earlier today it went smoothly.
