Downloading from downloads.openwrt.org slow

GrumpyMeow commented 2 months ago

Hi, The last few months i noticed that the speeds of downloads became much slower.
I thought that i would be able to improve download speeds by selecting a mirror, so i provided LEDE_BUILDER_URL with a mirror url. Unfortunatly the download of packages still uses the "downloads.openwrt.org" and not the mirror.

Package list missing or not up-to-date, generating it.

Building package index...
Downloading https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.4/targets/ramips/mt7621/packages/Packages.gz

Is there an option to also download packages from the mirror? (i'm using Nix btw)

Try to create a custon repositories.conf and use this file by setting the REPOSITORIES_CONF environment variable to the files location

Look here for an example: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/imagebuilder#adding_package_repositories

Thank you for this suggestion. I eventually found out it was an issue with ipv6.
