Yes, not nice at all.
I noticed that with smaller updates, some 600MB.
When the wrong pkgs change, or pkgs move from unstable to stable, you 
have no updater at all.
I had to reinstall from a3KDE cd yesterday for that reason.
Still very much probs from that.. ;(
But it seems to progresss now.
QT was wrong version when update stopped, so yast not working..
But luckily this time zypper does, last time nothing worked, no rpm-data 
base, no pkgmngr...
Last days very many server time outs.. this is killing the complete os..;(

The downloads are incredibly fast now :) (if only there were no 
server-timeouts....

 Nice continuance of your life to you...
