Initial reports from the user are that setting ZYPP_MULTICURL=0 seemed to make a difference. We will see if this is consistent. On Fri, May 8, 2015 at 10:38 AM, Per Jessen <per@computer.org> wrote:

Wait... Per, are you saying that download.opensuse.org is actually some sort of round-robin load balancing address, where each access may go to some different mirror?
Yes, that's pretty much it, but in an intelligent fashion. It's running mirrorbrain which directs you to a geographically close mirror. There's probably some load balacing involved too.
Yes.
I understand that it can also give the downloader information to download from several mirrors in parallel, metalink type.
The geolocation using IPv6 doesn't work right, I heard, so that you can get redirected to a mirror on the other side of the globe, with slow results...
Yup - I believe(!) the issue is that there is no IPv6 geolocation database. Given the lack of people reporting this issue, I guess we can conclude that IPv6 deployment among openSUSE users is negligible.
