I am experiancing 15-20 minute waits on a cable connection before it displays the results where I can choose the packages. This same time occurs no matter what site I select, or if I select manual or automatic.
This is on a Athlon 1800 system with plenty of ram and drive space, so it is not hardware related. I can also browse the web and get email without pause while YOU is running.
I have both name servers in the resolv.conf, and my own system in hosts (although I recently added it, the problem existed before I added it).
Throughput at dslreports.com shows 800+ throughput. So it does not appear the bandwidth is impaired either.
Has anyone seen this and resolved it? Has it been reported to Suse? I cannot find any reference in the SDB regarding this or in this newsgroup (that I found)

Hi Doug, Same here, maybe not 15-20 minutes but still very very ssslllooowww. Check out one of the alternative update tools. Don't know if fou4s works for 8.1 but apt-get certainly does, fast! regards, Marcel
