Anyone having problems with updates from repository http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/]Index of /update/12.1 ?
Using zypper up the first package hangs as well as using yast for updates.
Going directly to url and clicking on a file it returns a “unable to connect” message.
Any news on this server?
All other updates from other repositories work fine.
I show the update repository is called: “http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.1:/Update/standard/”, less the quotes. Not sure why you are trying to use: “http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/”, though the way you posted is messed up. Normally this is one of the automatically added repositories and so unless you removed it for some reason, there is no need to add it back in. Perhaps you could tell us more about your repository setup and just what you are doing with it? Open a terminal session, type the following command and post the results here in another message:
zypper repos
Thank You,

stems from the Debug tree

And the contents of the link from James seems to be the same as the two above (at a cursory examination)
There is so much symlinking going on that for all I know they might all be the same thing. But I do know that you can be certain about the correctness of the second link above.
FWIW 
Thanks Swerdna and jdmcdaniel3 for your quick response. Still not sure what is going on. Tried changing the url using both of your examples but having the same problem.
Zypper up hangs on the first file. At first I thought it was a permission problem but its the same problem as root.
Below is what I get when using zypper up. Hangs at about 37%.
**91 packages to upgrade, 3 new.

I’ve also included the repository report. I know it looks ugly but it can be copied to wordpad for some formatting.

So my thoughts are you have way too many repositories and the more you have, the more likely you will have a problem. Take a look at my 12.1 installation repos:
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh
--+------------------------+----------------------------+---------+--------
1 | KDE:/UpdatedApps | KDE:/UpdatedApps | Yes | Yes
2 | openSUSE:/12.1:/Update | openSUSE:/12.1:/Update | Yes | Yes
3 | packman | packman | Yes | Yes
4 | repo-debug | openSUSE-12.1-Debug | No | Yes
5 | repo-debug-update | openSUSE-12.1-Update-Debug | No | Yes
6 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-12.1-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes
7 | repo-oss | openSUSE-12.1-Oss | Yes | Yes
8 | repo-source | openSUSE-12.1-Source | No | Yes
On your setup, what is the address used for the 1st (SUSE) listing? Why do you have two update entries with 2 & 23? Even though 23 is disabled, why keep it there and since updating is a problem, perhaps you need to remove 2 and enable 23? You have 16 Build Service repos, are they still all required? You normally remove libdvdcss after it is installed as shown on 25. I could go on though I have found no smoking gun, just that you have update issue with 31 entries when normal might be 7 or so. Consider doing some trimming and see if it might help.
Thank You,

you can only install using zypper as root…
but, you should never log into KDE/Gnome or other desktop environments
as root…
instead you should always log into the desktop environment as yourself,
then when wanting to run zypper you open a terminal and become root by
typing “su -” without the quote signs…
if you have been logging into KDE/Gnome etc as root, that may be the
cause of your problem…
certainly, if you have been using “sudo zypper” or becoming root with
just “su” that is a problem because neither use the full environment of
root, but instead retain yours…

AFAICT #24 is the DVD/CD-drive which is probably empty now. To get this clear we should see output of
zypper lr -d
It’s also not too hard to see what happened: Yast - Software - Software repositories - Add - Community repos - check all - Accept. The repos first should be reduced to the Famous Four: OSS,. Non-OSS, Update, Packman. I don’t know how much harm has been done yet, but maybe it would be wise to run a “zypper dup” after reducing the repos.

Nonono. You are suposed to post using code tags. Advannced editor, # button.
However, I looked at your incomplete output (you did not use --details),
and I fail to detect the tumbleweed repo. If you are not using tumbleweed,
why are you posting in the tumbleweed forum?
