Hi
Well depends on the backend which zypper supports a lot which is
currently aria but you can always change it to one of your download
manager choices ranging from curl to wget to anything at zypp.conf ( I
believe not sure)

I have a genuine question for the openSUSE folk. I recently switched from Red Hat to openSUSE 11.4. In a nutshell, I am very happy with the resulting system that I have running with the 2.6.37 Linux kernel. But I just can't understand one thing. What makes zypper so god damn slow when it comes to package management and installation of packages?
In comparison to Red Hat's yum and Debian's apt, zypper is shockingly slow at anything it does. I'm curious as to why this is and why it can't be developed to match the speed of yum and apt.
Can someone shed some light on this?
Cheers
