Hi,

bugs.python.org is still not responding on IPv6. Can someone please remove the AAAA record from python.org DNS, or fix the IPv6 configuration? It's an issue on my PC because my PC has IPv6 address and so it cannot reach bugs.python.org. wget is really slow because it tries first IPv6, but then falls back to IPv4. Firefox tries first IPv4 and so doesn't have the issue. The infrastructure team cannot do anything about this, since the tracker is hosted by Upfront Systems. They are hosting the instance at Hetzner in Germany, which does support IPv6. Do we have someone with login permission for the server running RoundUp ? I think Ezio and Martin have access to the machine, but not necessarily root access; and, furthermore, the problem might be somewhere else on the network. I think the best short-term measure is to disable the IPv6 resolution for bugs.python.org. Otherwise people will run in the same issue over and over again. We have root, but I don't think that helps. I currently see this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 6c:62:6d:85:bb:7b inet addr:46.4.197.70 Bcast:46.4.197.71 Mask:255.255.255.248 inet6 addr: 2a01:4f8:131:2480::3/64 Scope:Global so the problem appears to be a network issue (as far as I can see, there's no firewall running on the box itself). Disabling the AAA name record until we get a response from upfront sounds like a good idea. (I've added the upfront folks as nosy on the ticket Antoine opened on the meta-tracker.)

Some things to try on the box:

If the first doesn't work, there's likely a router problem with the server, which only Upfront can resolve (via a support request to Hetzner or by checking their server IPv6 settings).

Here's the configuration page for the IPv6 setup:
