I'm a bit amazed that i'm redirected to a mirror in the Ukraine: i am in the Netherlands. There must be a mirror closer to me (like Germany, the home of SuSE)

Yes. I try to summ up what we found so far. - Regarding fastmirror.pp.ua I also experienced a slightly better download performance with IPv4 than with v6. But that's probably not the problems core. The overall performance for me in the morning was about 70k/s(v6) and 90k/s(v4). Nevertheless it currently serves me with 10M/s (yes M). When ZYPP downloads the metadata, it gets a files mirrorlist back from download.opensuse.org. For the current primary file e.g.

http://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/repodata/84ae39a6bf...

You can get the mirrorlist by appending '.metalink':

curl -L http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/repodata/84ae39a6bff73693a...

and get

<resources> <!-- Found 0 mirrors: 0 in the same network prefix, 0 in the same autonomous system, 1 handling this country, 0 in the same region, 0 elsewhere -->

<!-- Mirrors in the same network (79.192.0.0/10): --> <!-- Mirrors in the same AS (3320): --> <!-- Mirrors which handle this country (DE): --> <url type="http" location="de" preference="100">http://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/repodata/84ae39a6bff73693a126bb54d91f048864ea7ecd29a8bf587905d8a67823b752-primary.xml.gz</url> <!-- Mirrors in the same continent (EU): --> <!-- Mirrors in the rest of the world: --> </resources>

The lists I saw so far always contained just one server. Yesterday fastmirror.pp.ua, todays morning a server in Poland and currently downloadcontent.opensuse.org. So all http(!) trafic for this file is redirected to a single server. This could explain why the server is that slow sometimes. If you retrieve the same mirrorlist for https

curl -L https://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/repodata/84ae39a6bff73693...

you get back much more mirrors

So editing the /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo files and switching from 'baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/...' to 'baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org' should at least mitigate the issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
