I did an update and all my updates stalled at the same spot:

I noticed that they were going to download.opensuse.org - not to the mirror I modified them to go a few months ago.
All my repos were now .rpmsave and the repos now pointed to download.opensuse.orgso I had to delete the repo and rename the .rpmsave back to get updates to work.
Why are repos being changed on an update?
zypper ran fine when I fixed the problem.
rpm -qf "/etc/zypp/repos.d/repo-sle-update.repo" might tell you what rpm did, unless it was a script.
This file is installed by openSUSE-release. And yes, that was rather bad idea to install repositories this way. Another case was reported on forums - user had installed locally without access to Internet and used autoyast to specify exact repository locations, but after installation there are still those files pointing to download.opensuse.org which was simply not accessible. And what is worse they will be back every time openSUSE-release is updated for whatever reasons.
