I’ll start with the latest julialang version and see where that gets me. btw https://status.julialang.org times out, “taking too long to respond” so maybe that’s the issue.

Perhaps julialang.org is blocked by your proxy. Ask your admin. Or just use your phone to get internet…

I am the admin, and no it’s not blocked. It came through eventually, but apparently it’s intermittent for me. This bar graph seems to indicate some issues recently: [image] Perhaps for some reason I’m getting connected to eu-central instead of us-west? Oh us-west also shows issues: [image]

Alternatively set it so a different Pkg Server, e.g. export JULIA_PKG_SERVER=us-east.pkg.julialang.org in the shell, or ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = "us-east.pkg.julialang.org" from within Julia. Ok, if all of them have problems you can only complain here in the forum and wait until the problems a…

The time is the same here, although I am using JuliaPro_v1.5.4-1 on Windows and was adding a package. The first thing Julia did was to spend 11 min updating General. Then it took only a few seconds updating JuliaComputingRegistry and the rest of stuff. This was not the first time it took about 10 mi…

I’ve been seeing the same thing on Linux over the last days though (although as usual worse on Windows).

If it’s happening on Linux as well, it sounds like a network/server issue, not the Windows problem that unpacking a tarball is ungodly slow. Fortunately, the tarball unpacking issue should be a thing of the past on all platforms with the 1.7 release since we’re now leaving the registry tarballs as-i…

Just tried again on 1.6.1 on a Manjaro machine, again got stuck - this time on 100% rather than 99.9% - for about 4 minutes. My internet is a bit slow this morning but still clocks in at about 15MB/s, which I would have thought should be well enough? How fast should I expect an update of the genera…

Would you be able to try the 1.7 beta or compile the release-1.6 branch form source? There are some fixes to Downloads that should be included in both of those and it would be interesting to see if that improves things for you.

Why is the update of the registries so slow?
