no no, i mean on every package install command, conda seems to try and download metadata from all the channels I have because that step is slow i simply ask it to download from the offline cache it has by adding the --offline
ah, you mean a more static repodata. Yes, we're working on that. It won't be the default for a while, though You can try it now conda config --set channel_alias https://conda-static.anaconda.org
