Software market not working. Can’t update qubes and can’t download large files

[shamaar...@gmail.com]

For the the software app I get the error: cannot update repo ‘qubes-vm-r4.0-current’: cannot download repomd.xml:cannot download reposts/repomd.xml current error(28)

I updated fedora 29 fine but I left whonix to update all night and one failed and the other was still updating.

I can download small files fine but when I try to download AppVMs and iso OS they fail with no error code.

Is there any possible way to make my system less buggy and run more smooth? I use run in debug mode but that honestly doesn’t do anything

Don't use it. Use dnf or apt from within your Fedora or Debian
(respectively) template to install packages.

One of the repos appears to be having trouble. Try again tomorrow.

Increase your AppVM's private storage space. See the Qubes docs for
howto details if needed.

Apart from the repo having trouble, none of these are bugs- they are
just the way Qubes works. You're right, debug mode won't really help for
that. It might help if you read through the documentation to get a
better understanding of what Qubes is doing, and why. Also, searching
this mailing list and/or qubes-issues can often provide resolutions to
commonly encountered difficulties.
