On big updates, like the recent complete rebuild of TW, it can easily happen that package download uses all available disk space, which results in funny error messages and an unusable system. While an experienced user finds its way around, a less experienced user is lost. Proposed solution: Zypper should check available disk space before downloading packages. maybe download size plus 10 or 20%. Thanks!
