For the past several days, when I run zypper -v dup to update Tumbleweed, zypper is reporting [The requested URL returned error: 429] and I have to run the zypper command multiple times before all of the packages are successfully downloaded.
Is openSUSE having issues with this mirror? Base URL is mirrorcache-us.opensuse.org, I know it’s in Salt Lake City.
Thanks in advance.
HTTP Error 429 is ‘Too Many Requests’
The server was busy.
HTTP error 429 means “Too Many Requests,” which means a client (your machine) has sent too many requests to the server within a short period. This response is used to prevent abuse.
If a client continues to send requests after receiving a 429, they may be temporarily blocked from accessing the server.
Seems odd an update server would respond with this, but it seems your machine (zypper) is overloading requests.
I’d wait an hour or two to retry in this situation.
Thank you for the replies.
I ran zypper four or five times (before seeing these replies), before all of the downloads came through.
I agree that it is odd that an update server would respond that way. I have opened a bug report since it seems to be infrastructure-related. Although I also thought that the recent change made to zypper in the way it now downloads packages, might be the cause.
@epp if it’s an infrastructure issue, normally an email to admin{at}opensuse{dot}org to create a Progress Ticket is the way to go 
There was some chatter on the Admin IRC/matrix channel about it yesterday @sfalken was having the issue…
@malcolmlewis OK. I have sent an e-mail to the admin address and closed the bug report, referencing my e-mail. Thank you.
@malcolmlewis I received an e-mail this morning, that my Progress Ticket is now Resolved.
While updating Tumbleweed earlier, there were no issues or errors with downloads.
Thank you @crameleon
