In a normal situation, IPS should download 1 manifest file per package on opensolaris.org and many compressed files from the mirror. > How did you create this mirror?

Sorry, I'm wrong for this, I've made the installation on Virtualbox and captured the traffic from host. The guest traffic is seen twice but there is only one request per file. The remaining issue is that IPS doesn't alway use the mirror for package files. > I'm also confused as to how many servers these > numbers are based off of. > Are these just numbers from an install of a single > server? So, they are 150 packages and 20k files downloaded for a single server install. > You also haven't defined what "slow" is here. Slow is more than 1 hour. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
