Hello all,
Can't seem to find anything in the archives --
Trying to update a FC1 box behind an HTTP proxy.
I've set http_proxy, and yum generally works except for one annoying problem:
Downloads of packages start well but then just stop (at some random
percentage). Sometimes they start again (after several minutes) .. sometimes
they dont. Hitting CTRL-C will sometimes wake up the transfer and it will
begin to transfer again (usually from 0%).
It generally takes several attempts to get the package downloaded.
If I download the package directly from the FTP server (just using FTP through
the proxy), everything works fine.
Is this just a proxy thing, or do other people see this as well?
