Slow /conda-forge/linux-64/repodata.json causes timeouts

Since the 22 Nov 2025, we noticed a degradation of response from conda-forge.
This causes our artifactory to not be able to front it and all our conda pipelines using it fail

Just downloaded https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch/repodata.json (147 MB) in a little over ten minutes…It took about just as long to display the content conda-forge/noarch in the browser (314K+ files)

Just in case there is a CDN involved (or not), I operate from Sydney Australia.
The same slowness is witnessed from within AWS and outside of it.

Hi @Marc3 , thank you for the report. My team will look into it! I’ll respond here with an update or if we have questions for you. Thanks, Lilly
