Cloudflare Package Repository Mirrors

Is it me, or it downloads so fast that the progress output doesn't even show in the terminal ? On Archlinux.

I saw the same. My best initial guess is that this is somehow caused by cloudflare either setting the content-type header to text/plain or not setting the accept-ranges header. Or maybe both?

Mostly that, because it doesn't support resuming partial downloads either (it says http server does not support byte ranges)

I think the header Content-Length is missing.

range requests to resume downloads do not work either...

but when encountered i can see the progress of downloading that package with the failed resume attempt... quite weird behavior
