You can disable it with:

export ZYPP_ARIA2C=0

in the same session where yast runs.

Quite a lot... it is responsible for downloading from several mirrors at 
the same time, and for switching from a faulty mirror to another one. 
Without it, if you get a faulty mirror, that package download fails 
completely, you have to retry, which may fail as well if you get the same 
mirror.
