Dunno about 11.0. I've not run into the timeouts with it. In Factory, I run zypper from runlevel 3 as root. The timeouts happen _much_ more quickly there.
If you're using download.opensuse.org for the standard repos, try switching to an alternate mirror for those, such as mirrors.kernel.org or gwdg.de.
Thanks for this, but moving to some other source/mirror doesn't really solve the problem because if zypper strikes a problem with the download it will still "hang" for some prescribed period before announcing that there has been error.
What I was suggesting was a workaround for the problem of the openSUSE download redirector redirecting to servers that are missing files. When your repo configs specify one specific mirror that isn't missing files, you don't get the repeated timeouts. -- "Love is not easily angered.
