Apps downloading is pretty slow
ashfame:
Hi guys,
The repo has been acting slow for me as well. Using a linux box from Linode.
I ran the same command you suggested a few posts earlier:
--- Code: ---wget --debug --output-file=icu.txt http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86_64/tcz/icu65-dev.tcz
--- End code ---
I can't make out anything from it: https://pastebin.com/4nrKXum5

From your file:
--- Code: --- 0K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 0% 42.5K 6m30s
50K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 0% 31.5K 7m37s
100K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 0% 40.5K 7m19s
150K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 1% 18.9K 9m6s
200K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 1% 14.6K 11m0s
250K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 1% 9.73K 13m48s
300K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 2% 12.5K 14m54s
--- End code ---
Column 1 indicates how much of the download has completed in 50K byte increments.
Columns 2 through 6 are groups of 10 dots. Each dot represents 1K byte of data downloaded.
Column 7 indicates the percentage of the total file that has been downloaded.
column 8 gives the speed at which that 50K bytes of data was downloaded at in K bytes per second.
Network speeds can fluctuate for a variety of reasons.
column 9 is an estimate of the time required to complete the download at the current speed.
Going to the end of the file:
--- Code: ---
16500K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 99% 29.4K 5s
16550K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 99% 52.4K 2s
16600K .......... .......... .......... .......... 100% 43.9K=15m7s
2020-08-12 10:17:52 (18.3 KB/s) - 'icu65-dev.tcz' saved [17039360/17039360]
--- End code ---
Looking at the line that says 100% we find:
Columns 2 through 5 contain 10 dots each and column 6 is blank indicating the last block of data was 40K bytes in size.
Column 9 has a new meaning on this line. It now displays how long it took to download the file, 15m7s.
The last line shows the average download speed of the file, 18.3 K bytes per second.
The "saved [17039360/17039360]" means [# of bytes saved / file size in bytes].

After shutting eth0 down, I got this output attached.
Rich:
Hi Sashank999
I can only think of one other thing to try. Don't initialize wlan0. Bring up eth0 instead and connect a LAN cable between your machine
and one of the modems LAN ports. See if that gets you any speed.

Hi Rich,
Thanks a lot for your explanation! :)
So it took 14m54s to download that single extension, why would it be this slow?
Maybe something at the server to throttle certain connections?
