Those files change every time there's a new build so you need to use one that currently exists.

@stephenw10 said in VERY slow System Update:
Do you have IPv6 on that system?
I think I may have just hit this on a system that does. Can you test disabling IPv6 if so?
Steve
In System / Advanced / Networking ?
Yes, I try to turn OFF all about IPv6. Even restart, but nothing changed, still SLOWWW
P.S. In the location where this pfSense installed most of ISP unable to routing IPv6, clearly say "99,9% of ISPs in this area IPv4 only"
-
Mmm, not that then. It would fail to get that file with fetch too. I assume that firewall doesn't actually have IPv6 connectivity at all?
What happens if you run
pkg-static -d up-date
?
It complete that in a few seconds. Does it stall anywhere?Steve

No stall.
But no few sec
approx 12sec to completeThank You for help.

So, to confirm, you do not have a routable IPv6 IP on that firewall?
Just to be sure try running:
fetch -4 -o /dev/null https://files00.netgate.com/packages/pfSense_master_amd64-core/All/pfSense-kernel-debug-pfSense-2.6.0.a.20211008.0500.pkg
Compare that with:
fetch -6 -o /dev/null https://files00.netgate.com/packages/pfSense_master_amd64-core/All/pfSense-kernel-debug-pfSense-2.6.0.a.20211008.0500.pkg
The issue I hit yesterday was a local setting I had forgotten about.
As far as I know there are no issues with the repo.Steve

Hmm, so something specifically to that host from where you are.
MTU problem?
You see the same in files00 and files01?

I do not make any modification in NIC settings.

Yes, the same

@sergei_shablovsky said in VERY slow System Update:

That doesn't mean something didn't change in the route though.
What do you see in a packet capture of the traffic? A lot of fragmentation perhaps?
-
@stephenw10 said in VERY slow System Update:

To this pfSense we have 2 WAN with static IPs from local ISP.
MTU problem?
I was a little play with this: 1500, 1350 - not solving my problem.

But if fragmentation or something miss-working on a TCP level, iperf also could be affected. But iperf working as many days before - the same measurement.
Please point me with sample what You mean about “measuring level of fragmentation by packet capturing”.
Thank You for help. This issue slowly make me sad...
-
Indeed iperf would also be affected if it was going over the same route but that's unlikely. We ca say whatever part of the route that is shared does not have a problem.
Run a pcap for traffic to/from the update server. Look for fragmentation.

Thank You, Steve for suggestions!
No fragmentation, checked at the first step.
BTW, when doing “pkg upgrade” from command line on local console, after downloading first packet the output from pkg looks like stopped. No, system working and no freeze, all other LANs working...
I even trying to “pkg unlock -a”, but this also no impact on situation...
-
So it sends and then never receives a reply? And doesn't just timeout?
That sounds more like something broken in the pkg system locally.

Thank You for patience with this case, Steve.
Not looks like this.
When come into local shell, trying to make manually
pkg upgrade
after depositories checks, the packet downloading process starting, even first .pkg in Queue downloaded fast (at 70-90Mb/s), but after this first .pkg (or just from start of Queue), the download speed on screen indicated as
16,4kB/s 01:43:17ETA
(this is for pfSense-kernel-pfSense-2.6.0.a.20211029.0500.pkg fetching for example)
and on a big .pkg size connection closed, may be from the NetGate updates server sideLet me remind, any other downloads or third party .pkg downloaded on full available bandwidth, I test this more than triple-twice.
That sounds more like something broken in the pkg system locally.
I also thinking about this, so try to pkg unlock -a, purging pkg cache....
But still unsuccessfully...[UPDATE]
Today I have a little bit more time to make some experiments. And found that the SLOW speed only for 2nd, 3rd, and down the list .pkg files, but FIRST FILE ALWAYS DOWNLOADING AT FULL AVAILABLE BANDWITH. (i.e. from 24 to 80MB/s).q -
Hmm, that really looks like a routing issue or an IPv6 issue. But I believe we already ruled that out?
Do you have a VPN or some other tunnel you could try to route that traffic across as a test?

The routing - is the first that I thinking on. But if something wrong with routing **why this not impact on any other traffic from/to any other destination/source.

I'm a little bit stupid today, could You be so please to write in details what exactly you mean and how doing that? Thx a lot!!!
