opnsense-bootstrap: Very slow download speed for packages

[fdcastel]

I'm getting painfully slow download speeds for packages through opnsense-bootstrap.

Is there a way to check which mirror it's pulling from?

And any option to switch to a different one?

Number of packages to be installed: 168

The process will require 1 GiB more space.

Not much anyone can do here, sorry. It’s probably neither opnsense-bootstrap nor pkg causing this. Most likely a configuration issue in core.

[deajan]

Had the same issues with IPv6 enabled on WAN link.
Try to temporarily disable it in order to outrule IPv6 problems.
Perhaps some of the mirrors don't provide proper dual stack.

[fdcastel]

I've turned off ipv6 on this system to avoid exactly problems like this.

But this time, the problem is happening with ipv4.

Thanks @deajan, for the feedback.
