Subject: Why "update substitutes?"
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2024 13:50:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a5er6h5l.fsf@lease-up.com> (raw)

Hi,

When updating, my equipment spends nearly as much time "updating
substitutes" as it does downloading substitutes.

The activity is probably exacerbated because I cross-publish substitutes
in my local network.

Would it be more efficient to check whether a particular substitute is
available in an individual query (like DNS) and stop querying for that
substitute after a server was found?

Kind regards
Felix
