Loading updates from different remote hosts in parallel is useful, but it looks like there needs to be a way to switch it off.
In `man apt.conf` I see: Queue-Mode Queuing mode; Queue-Mode can be one of host or access which determines how APT parallelizes outgoing connections. host means that one connection per target host will be opened, access means that one connection per URI type will be opened. Seems to me that perhaps another mode is warranted where the connections are serialised. Alternatively, perhaps a limit on the number of parallel connections in total. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/746508 Title: apt-check uses too much resources (starts too many processes) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/746508/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
