Firmware Auto Update download extremly slow

[Clouseau]

Firmware Auto Update download has been some while extremely slow (nanobsd)
Is threre capasity issues at server side or is this problem in nanobsd firmware ?

I saw that as well recently. Not really maxing out my VDSL 50 connection…

Finally updated my ALIX to 2.0 and I'm seeing this as well.  Is this the snapshot server's bandwidth or is it an issue with the Nano build?

I have the same "problem" with full installation.
I had slow downloadspeed, too, when I downloaded the .ISO from the snapshots server.

For me its not really a problem if I have to wait 5min or 1min but perhaps it helps the developers if it is a snapshot server problem.

Well it cant be the snapshot server.  If I download directly from the link, I'm getting line speed, 1.5MBps.  If I upgrade through the Auto Update in the GUI, its less than a minute to upgrade with my full install and its about 15 minutes with my ALIX.  This is not upgrade time, this is download time.

download via webgui is somewhat slower than downloading directly. So compared to my line (100MBit) it is extraordinary slow ;-).

So having that download faster, do it manually and then install via console, but i think, the time to upgrade will be nearly the same at the end…

And when pfSense is final, you don't have to upgrade any more.... Enjoy that "wasted" time! ;-)
