Just saw this announcement on the project mailing list:

Hi,
We face at the moment a rather critical problem - in download.opensuse.org’s RAID 2 discs died at the same time,
which means we can’t restore the filesystem at all.
Most stuff is copied somewhere else, but restoring it from
scratch can take easily a day - we’re talking about several TB.
For now I redirect download.o.o to widehat.opensuse.org, which
won’t be able to hold the load for long - but it’s better than
spitting errors.
Greetings, Stephan

Wanted to pass this information along to our forum users so they were
aware of this issue. As Stephan noted, they’re working on recovery right
now, but it’s going to take some time.
Trying to Add Community Repositories thru Yast pops a warning box that no repository list is found.
Is this also related to the disk failures (openSUSE 11.4 & 12.1)?

Very likely, as the list of mirrors is pulled from that server. Though
the server’s request have been redirected to another server, the people
working on the problem said that that other server would likely become
overwhelmed in short order.

Note: if you have suggestions, do not post them here, he will not see them.

Thanks, Carlos, for posting Coolo’s update from the ML - it sounds like
the milestone 4 release is going to be dropped (nobody seems to have any
objections to it, and I think the move makes sense as well under the
circumstances).

To me, it would make more sense to delay.

No, they know what I think and I know what they think. We agree to disagree

OK, but as you know, posting about project issues here isn’t likely to
change anything either.
nonetheless repos are still very slow, is this because many are using them at the same time ?
zypper ref && zypper up
Timeout exceeded when accessing 'http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml'.
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (r):
Trying again...
then no answer

I don’t think so. They have problems, I think.
