pkgin is too slow

Overlord1310

As stated in the title of this thread, I have problems using pkgin because it is too slow to update the database and also when I try to download packages from the remote repository.

The installation I have is recent, specifically NetBSD 10.0. The following video shows the situation I currently have.

Something similar happens to me with pkgsrc, for more details check here

Overlord1310 The programs are trying to make IPv6 connections to the servers, and either your provider, or your home router, doesn't support that at all, or it's not configured correctly. Every IPv6 connection attempt thus has to timeout before IPv4 connections are tried.

Since my ISP doesn't seem to do IPv6, I just don't ask for it. If you use DHCP, in /etc/rc.conf add a -4 to dhcpcd_flags=

$ fgrep dhcpcd /etc/rc.conf
dhcpcd=YES
dhcpcd_flags="-4Mqw vioif0"
$

Or, if you really, really must have IPv6, do:

$ fgrep ip6a /etc/rc.conf
ip6addrctl=YES
ip6addrctl_policy=ipv4_prefer
$

Same fix.

Thank you very much for the answer. Indeed the problem was related to IPV6 misconfiguration, I have made the necessary modifications to my router and the problem is solved.
