Hello In India in a alot of networks alot of chinese domains and ip addresses are blocked for obvious reasons. While this is a minor inconvenience when using zypper or yast ( it does slow down because most of the chinese mirrors are blocked, yet they come up because India is geographically closer to China.) The web is another story. for example if i want to download a package from say libtool from; https://software.opensuse.org/package/libtool this sends me to https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/lib... ALWAYS. which obviously does not open. no other mirror is selected. and i cant download any thing. its as good as dead. any solution to this? this whole geographically close thing does not work. thanks chandan

I've switched most of my repo URLs back from cdn.o.o to download.o.o. For this to work you'll need to uninstall openSUSE-repo*. If this is not sufficiently better, you may pick individual mirrors known to work from your location, and include them all in each repo file, e.g.: # cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/OSS.repo [OSS] autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/opensuse/tumbleweed/repo/oss http://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss enabled=1 keeppackages=0 name=OSS path=/ type=rpm-md # -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
