Cannot install additional packages OpenSuSE 11.1

Hi,

Since last week, my Linux box is experimenting problems to get packages updates and read remote repos files.
In addition, I cannot install additional packages. For instance I got this message while I was trying to install the wireshark package:

‘Download failed:
Download (curl) error for ‘http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/rpm/i586/wireshark-1.0.4-2.11.2.i586.rpm’:
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: couldn’t connect to host’

Similar problems I’m facing during the repos update process. For example, repositories such as Java and KDE4 look unreachable too.

Thanks for your help,

Try removing your repo in question and using a mirror local to you

Thanks. Now, I’m using 130.57.19.201 mirror site (Novell). Most of the repositories are again accessible.

Excellent news;)
