Solus Updates for Week 8, 2025
same issue here.
- Edited
Using sudo eopkg up:
the same issue, net speed test and I full speed 200Mb/s
p.s. my unstable Solus VM did fine in this week when I updated it
This is my result after a couple attempts...
Me too
Okay thanks for reporting.
I couldn't figure out what the issue was with the CDN so I bumped the package and synced again. So try update again. In my testing it downloads at a reasonable speed now.
Harvey This fixed it, thanks ️
For Informations
Thanks
Sadly it is not fixed for me. Download speed for the linux-firmware package is around 70 KB/s. Everything else is around 10 MB/s. I ran "eopkg up -x linux-firmware" to have the other packages installed. Downloading the firmware package now, ETA 45 minutes.

No idea wtf is going on with the CDN. For people who still have an issue cancel the update and do this:
wget https://packages.getsol.us/shannon/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware-20250211-88-1-x86_64.eopkg
sudo mv linux-firmware-20250211-88-1-x86_64.eopkg /var/cache/eopkg/packages/
and then update again.
sudo eopkg up -y
Harvey this works
thanks!

Having general problems since yesterday....
Routing on the Internet is very dynamic and such things quickly affect CDNs. That's why some people notice something and others don't
I had 82 Solus packages (695.54 MiB) to update today and, whether on Gnome Software or Solus Software Center, I was blocked on the linux-firmware package.
Your terminal commands allowed me to fix this issue and after reboot, my computer is now up to date.
Thanks again to you.
I also noticed that with each retry the size of the package seemed to grow:
