Comment 4 EMR_Fedora 2015-08-03 14:52:28 UTC

I posted this to another bug report, but I didn't realise that it was closed as a dupe of this. Sorry for the cross posting:

For some reason DNF attempts to connect at high ports (instead of FTP/HTTP) and I see a SYN_SENT which is being blocked by our network's firewall, so it just stalls. Yum always seemed to work fast and connect only on HTTP/FTP ports. Is there a way to force DNF to use ONLY http?

Comment 5 Honza Silhan 2015-08-06 12:55:24 UTC

This bug will be solver on librepo side only (bug 1210325). No additional changes in dnf are needed.

There is a request to prioritize HTTP over FTP: bug 1247076.
