Difficulties with downloading larger RPMs via dnf and from aix.software.ibm.com

  • 1.  Difficulties with downloading larger RPMs via dnf and from aix.software.ibm.com

    The last couple of weeks I've had various problems with downloading software from IBM, chiefly these two:

    1. Larger RPMs stall when I'm doing dnf update/upgrade. I can get most packages, but something like python or libstdc++13 are too large and time out before the downloads can complete.
    2. Browsing https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security for efixes times out intermittently. This happens both on my work computer (on our corporate network) as well as just using my phone's browser (i.e. not on our corporate net).The page partly downloads, but doesn't complete and I can't do anything with it (like sorting by date).
