Its likely just your slow network connection.
But it's a deadlock problem and a must-fix for the next release.
There is _no_way_ to get the configuration fixed if it's broken (e.g. by a bad and slow mirror, bad connection or the like).
- If the connection to a mirror is slow, there is no way to disable it because YaST doesn't give the user access to it before the metadata are downloaded, which can take up to 24 hours if an unlucky user managed to get a _really_ slow mirror like ftp.opensuse.org.
- If the user tries to trick YaST into giving him access by going offline, it doesn't work either because then YaST thinks it's a good idea to hide the remote sources.
The only way I'm aware of is a brute-force attack, going into /var/lib/zypp/db/sources and deleting the XML file directly.
It's broken and can't stay this way.
