headless-latest link takes a while to come up to speed

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

headless-latest link takes a while to come up to speed

Post by blargh2015 »

Hello!

I've noticed this on the past couple updates, but at least right this second:

https://factorio.com/get-download/lates ... ss/linux64

Gets me 0.17.59, whereas https://factorio.com/download-headless/experimental has a link for 0.17.60 at

https://factorio.com/get-download/0.17. ... ss/linux64

Which does indeed get me 0.17.60. The "latest" URL seems to take a few hours (maybe more?) to get updated to the correct version.

And of course, while I've been sitting here poking at it trying to find a pattern, now latest IS redirecting me to 0.17.60... (I was wondering if IPv4 or IPv6 or which cdn or what...)

As a side note, there does seem to be some sort of problem with the IPv6 server:

(The download never then starts, oddly enough)

I'll send this to the server guy but mostly I don't think this is worth doing anything with. It's the internet: it takes time for information to propagate across servers and for anyone and everyone involved to finally agree on any change you make in a distributed system.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
