First of all: yes, I can try to collect more info from them. I've just ema= iled one of the guys who brought this to my attention, and asked him if he can provide more info and leave a comment here. With that out of the way, I think it's worth mentioning that the retry idea= did not come from the reports I've received. It is something that I figured wo= uld be nice to have in order to mitigate the issues. We are talking about two distinct (albeit related) things here: having a big timeout does not necessarily mean that the download will succeeded, therefo= re having the possibility of retrying makes a lot of sense. > Or is the timeout at some earlier stage? We'd need the diagnostics or > packet trace or something like that. I understand the intention to address the timeout problem, but there are th= ings out of debuginfod's control here. One of the emails I received was from a person who lives in China and therefore has to cope with their sub-optimal international links. As far as I understood from what they explained, a connection between China and Europe is prone to suffer from the instability that was reported. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
