Hi
This question is already asked on this forum, but still I am forced to ask it, due to severity of problem.
The problem I am facing is that pkg downloads packages very slow. The average download speed by pkg is between 8-16kB/s. Please check recent download sample:
Although SirDice in his following post:
mentioned that one could end up on same slow server due to geolocation, but is it possible to use some custom settings in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD, instead of auto geo-location? Kindly guide me in this respect.
Thanks

I have been using 10.2R without (m)any problems as my desktop workstation. Some time ago the download speed for binary packages deteriorated significantly, I am talking 50-120 KiB/s on a link that can achieve around 4 MiB/s. Since I don't install new and big packages very often I have put up...
