Listmates,
During zypper updates, I experience intermittent retrieval failures that can really cause some havoc when called from a script. For some reason, the repositories just throw an error saying a package isn't found. However, just hitting 'r' for retry causes the repo to magically find the package. The problem is when the update is called from a script, there is nobody there to hit 'r'. What's up? Is this just a bad mirror or something where hitting 'r' forces zypper to try another mirror that has the package? Sometimes it happens rather frequently:

Anybody else seeing this, or am I just the lucky one.
<snip> I have noticed interim failures for both update and OBS repositories, for the past couple of weeks. I do not use zypper, (instead I use smart package manager), so the problem seems to be with the connection or transfer. Actually, sometimes it halts in the middle of downloading a package, as if the connection is aborted. Smart uses wget: the dl speed drops to 0, then 'halted'.
