[FIXED] Extremely low download speeds for yum, cachefly speeds are fine.
I've tried multiple mirrors. Speeds seem to be under 50kB/s for the most part, often under 11kB/s. I'm using a 512mb OVZ VPS (Buyvm, node07), but there's plenty of leftover CPU and RAM.
Repos installed are Base, epel, vz (?) and pptp (?).
I tested cachefly speeds, I can get 1MB/s-10MB/s without issue.
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong? Maybe this will just fix itself... Or maybe not... But Google isn't helping very much.
Running CentOS.

which mirror is it pulling from?
I know there's many mirrors that rate limit
When all else fails, use mirrors.buyvm.net

Ah hah!
ping6 the mirror you're using, I bet it has IPV6.
Linux node07.buyvm.net 2.6.18-6-pve #1 SMP Mon May 9 13:27:11 CEST 2011 x86_64
The -pve kernels have a known bug that IPV6 speeds are terrible but ipv4 is fine. node07 will get upgraded to the newest kernel we use sometime this week.
Our internal mirror is ipv4 only so you won't hit that same derp.
Francisco
That makes sense.. Okay, I'll wait for the upgrade (it won't break anything, right?).
On another note, for some reason, Transmission is downloading at full speed but won't upload more than a few kB/s. Is this related to the -pve issue? Because I can't figure out why Transmission is having this issue (although I experienced something similar to this on my home line, so it might be the software's fault).
Alternately, you can use this fix on any OS to prefer v4 over v6.
inb4 @Maounique limiting speed overselling bandwidth etc
Just check what 'uname -a' says and we can go from there

Linux buyvm.vkk.me 2.6.18-6-pve #1 SMP Mon May 9 13:27:11 CEST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Is that the 07 or the other one?
Francisco
Node07 is what the control panel tells me. The main IP assigned to it is 205.185.126.80.
Yea, you can try either pony's fix or a mirror swap
Francisco
About 10x the speed now for yum, thanks!
We'll have a list of which nodes are getting SSD (and kernel updates) early next week. We'll start on that for Wednesday.
