Hi,
I'm not a Dev and I'm not a programmer, but I see that changing mirror in the Control Center is not good as change mirror in Source.List.

So, I decided to write an easy script to allow users to select the nearest mirror for their location.
This script is great for worldwide users, not chinese ones (because chinese mirror works great for chinese mainland).

Here the compressed file, just unzip and run in terminal:
Deepin_force_local_mirror.sh.zip

Have a nice day!

Grazie, finalmente ora dovrei riuscire ad aumentare la velocità di download degli aggiornamenti.
Lo provo.

UPDATE

erfetto, funziona alla grande.
Prima scaricava a 36Kb/s con proxy attivo.
Ora viaggia sui 15.000Kb/s con proxy attivo.
Sei davvero un grande!
Grazie!

Ottima notizia.
It is really important to fix mirror because Deepin does not change it via Control Center.

What deepin does in the controll center is changing the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99mirrors.conf, first apt download InRelease from packages.deepin.com, then check if data from the mirror is the same, if so, apt will download the rest data from mirror, if not, download data from packages.deepin.com.
If mirror have the right datda, you only need to download InRelease from packages.deepin.com.

It will download from packages.deepin.com if and only if the right deb file can't find from the mirror server. You can see more debug information by enable

Acquire::SmartMirrors::Debug

Copy the Code

in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99lastore.conf

There has a bug in lastore-daemon < 0.9.42 cause slow download speed (Fixed in 15.4).

Wish you can test it again using apt-get install -o Acquire::SmartMirrors:

ebug=true foobar and without change the source.list

We implement this mirror logcial by using new apt feature like by-hash .
It will only download the InRelease file which is smaller than 20Kb from packages.deepin.com all other files should go through the mirror server which is same like change the source.list file directly. If it's not then there must a bug in there.

Choose a mirror near you, every mirror is better than original Chiense one for us..

I think that this thread should be locked in the top of the Newbie section of this Forum to help worldwide users to improve the download speed.

As already mentioned, try this, whatever your location is :

edit /etc/apt/sources.list
and change

http://packages.deepin.com/deepin

Copy the Code

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/packages.linuxdeepin.com/deepin

Copy the Code

so your sources.list file looks like

## Generated by deepin-installer
#deb [by-hash=force] http://packages.deepin.com/deepin panda main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://packages.deepin.com/deepin panda main contrib non-free
deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/packages.linuxdeepin.com/deepin panda main contrib non-free

Copy the Code

run

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Copy the Code

You'll notice HUGE improvments...

@maxximo: I did not try your script, but opened it to see by my self.
My post is an 'always working' alternative for this issue, as long as mirrorservice.org is functionning.

Your script is surely useful, but same could be done in less code.
PLEASE take no offense, this isn't a troll post. I'd be glad to help you improve it

Here's my proposal for an (easier to maintain) alternative script.

Please note that only a few mirrors have been integrated due to an extreme lazyness

Feel free to enhance it, by adding relevant lines in the aMirrorsList array (starting line 60)

#!/bin/bash
#
# Purpose : Adapt your sources.list file to the most accurate mirror server
# Versions : 0.3: Fixed typos and set exit on error conditions or undeclared vcaiables
# 0.2: refactoring -> Th3Blad3Runn3r
# 0.1: Original concept & Idea; Maxximo88
# Pre-requisites
set -o errexit
set -o nounset
# Uncomment the following line to see the magic happens :p
#set -o xtrace
# Display choices
displayMenu () {
echo "Ciao!"
echo ""
echo "This script allow international Deepin users to modify the 'sources.list' file and get full download speed by using a nearest mirror"
echo "Please select a Country/Region :"
echo ""
# Display available choices
iIndex=0;
for sMirrorTuple in "${aMirrorsList[@]}"; do
# Compute an index and display it as a string (0 leading, 2 char padding)
iIndex=$((${iIndex} + 1))
sIndex=$(printf "%02d" ${iIndex})
echo [${sIndex}]" - "${sMirrorTuple}
done
}
# Upgrade the /etc/apt/sources.list file
updateSourceList () {
# Get distro codename
sCodeName=$(lsb_release -sc)
# Preparing rolling backup
sSourceFileName=/etc/apt/sources.list
sTimeStamp=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
# Backup current sources.list
cp ${sSourceFileName} ${sSourceFileName}-${sTimeStamp}
# Replace sources.list
echo "Upgrading /etc/apt/sources.list with mirror" $2
echo ""
echo "## Generated by Deepin-installer / updated by "$0" for region "$1 > "${sSourceFileName}"
echo "deb [by-hash=force] http://"$2" "${sCodeName}" main contrib non-free" >> "${sSourceFileName}"
}
# Main
if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then
# Privilege warning
echo "Please run this script as root (use sudo)"
else
# Declare main array (Please, pay attention when editing this array, to not introduce typos)
aMirrorsList=(
'Original Mirror (Deepin)=packages.deepin.com/deepin'
'Universal mirror (Mirror Service)=www.mirrorservice.org/sites/packages.linuxdeepin.com/deepin'

# Get max index of the MirrorsList array

# Wait for choice
iChoice=0
while [ ${iChoice} -lt 1 ] || [ ${iChoice} -gt ${iMaxIndexValue} ]; do
echo ""
echo -e "Enter the numerical value corresponding to your choice (or ctrl+c to quit): \c"
read; iChoice=$REPLY
done
# Knowing that arrays are zero based, we substract 1 from the previous answer to access the right tuple
iChoice=$((${iChoice} - 1))
# Get tuple (Region/Mirror) based upon previous selection
sMirrorTuple=${aMirrorsList[${iChoice}]}
# Extract atomic values from the tuple (left and right part of the '=' sign)
sRegionName=$(echo ${sMirrorTuple}|cut -d'=' -f1)
