You are not alone. YOU is horrible. I haven't heard anything from SuSE about why this is, or what they are going to do about it. I can't believe it's the ftp servers, cuz if you log into the ftp site by hand, the downloads go very smoothly. I don't think SuSE is working on this at all. Must be getting 8.2 ready or something, or they are just about to give up on Yast (I can only hope). Someone mentioned an alternative online updater, but can't remember what it was. Search the mail-list archives on SuSEs website, should be a post from the last week or two. chris

I am consistently getting extremely SLOW response when I attempt to do online updates using Yast (manual or automatic). It sits at the 'Initializing for FTP/HTTP update. One moment please....' for more than an hour sometimes. I have tried several sites on the list. I am brand new to SuSE and wondered if this is a known issue or if there is some problem that I need to fix. The linux box (8.1) is at my work location so has a 10MB connection to the internet. I see NO speed issues when I simply browse to the web. Ideas please??!!! Thanks N
