When I update Graylog, why does it pull from an AWS server that appears to be in the EU? I am currently in the US.

wget https://packages.graylog2.org/repo/packages/graylog-4.2-repository_latest.deb

While this is not a problem for the package repo, the main download caps out at 30kb/s. If the slow speed was stable I would not care. However, that is not the case and requires repeated attempts until I get lucky?

So the question is, who is telling me to download from the EU?
I would like to download from a US-based mirror.

Hello,

Good question, perhaps asking this question here might help.

I’m in the west by Canada it seems fast to me, plus I would imagine that the repo has relays for this type of download/s.

As you can see my test download below.

Are you referring to yum/apt install graylog-server?
If so I did a test as shown below. It seamed very quick.
