Description Stefan Rotsch 2004-03-19 12:38:31 UTC
With GARNOME 2.5.91, I get lots of connection timeout errors like this:

---
Resolving ftp.gnome.org... done.
Connecting to ftp.gnome.org[130.239.18.137]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 1,631,251 [application/x-tar]
 
 7% [=>                                   ] 120,324        5.04K/s   
ETA 04:52
 
15:10:15 (5.04 KB/s) - Read error at byte 120324/1631251 (Connection
timed out). Retrying.
---

This happens again and again every ~150-200kb.

After editing gar.lib.mk and increasing wget -T 10 to wget -T 30,
everything works fine. As it is really annoying to tweak this with every
new GARNOME version: is it necessary to have such a short connection
timeout, or couldn't just wget's default settings being used?
Comment 1 Jeff Waugh 2004-03-19 12:44:34 UTC
I thought 10 was better than the default, which is why I put it in
there to start with... ;-) I've upped it to 30 for the next release.

Thanks!

If you're changing it in the next release, add a '-t 0' (try forever)
as well. I find it very annoying if I start 'make paranoid-install' in
the morning, and when I come home that evening I see an error that
occured at 10:00am or so because my ISP had a problem.
