This morning trying to refresh my repositories, the refresh was getting hung up on updating the repo at http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/repodata/.
I switched from zypper to yast, and started monitoring the update, and it turns out this file was the one that was going very slow, in the repodata subdirectory.
http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/repodata/cfa171ff1eeec497b...
So why would that be? The file is listed at a size of 13M, and another file listed at 9.2M seemed to take only the normal time of a few seconds to download. Is there some problem with the update repo?
To be more clear, it took around 45 minutes just to update that single xml.gz file, while the other xml.gz file (the 9.2M) that was in that same repo could not have taken more than 5 minutes, probably more like 2 minutes.
George, There is a US mirror problem that I hit the other night as well. (it took over 42 minutes to download what normally would occur in 2 minutes). I haven't drilled down which mirror, but I suspect it is the Rochester Inst. of Tech. mirror. RIT has been having hosting issues lately. (I ran into that with missing links to works by one of the RIT faculty a couple of days ago on a C matter). In the interim, pick one of the update mirrors that works for you and just create a new update_whatever.repo file in /etc/zypp/repos.d, then just call it by name (e.g. whatever you put between [....]) with zypper up -r .... (where .... is the name for the repo) and use that mirror directly. Pick your mirror from one of: http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/oss/openSUSE:Leap:42.2:Update....
