I resorted to an expect script, but the download rate became appalling, I gave up
and killed it at around 2976.  I have zypper configured to keep the downloads, so at least
I won't have to start from scratch.

#!/usr/bin/expect
set timeout -1
spawn zypper --no-color dup --auto-agree-with-licenses  --no-allow-vendor-change
expect "*Continue? * shows all options* (y): " { send -- "y\r" }
while {1 == 1} {
    expect \
        "*Abort, retry, ignore? * shows all options* (a): " {
            sleep 30
            send -- "r\r"
        } \
        eof { exit 0 }
}
