Comment # 3 on bug 1159688 from Felix Miata

I'm not sure about anything other than chronically being frustrated by long
waits that usually seem multiplied on weekends. During the week it's usually
tolerable, but on Friday afternoon or evening (FL/USA EST) the latency
escalates, and waiting for opensuse.org or waiting for suse.com seem
permanently affixed to the statusbar. This is what I sent to the heroes mailing
list on 2020-01-17 20:20 (UTC-0500):

I just waited 13.5 minutes for
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/x86_64/ to
completely load in SeaMonkey, 11.5 minutes before it even started to paint
anything, 75,987,605 bytes of html. This is just after it took 45 minutes
between submitting a new bug, and succeeding to add 3 additional attachments
(in 4 parts: 3 15.2 initrds, one too large for acceptance which had to be
split) to B.O.O.: bug 1161238

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.2/repo/oss/x86_64/ took 5
seconds to load html, 2,890,366 bytes. Nothing fancy. It just works.

Not counting the gartantuan browser load times for repos, download speed is not
usually an issue. Once wget is launched with a fetched URL, speed is normally
very good. Zypper updates and upgrades usually seem fine as well.
