Installing nVidia Drivers on 12.1 FTP timeout error

I am getting the following when trying to install the nVidia drivers on 12.1
as you can see I have aborted the process. When I do a retry it fails with the same error.
I have tried both Yast Package management and 1 click install both fail with the same error.
I have deleted and re-installed the repository all to no avail.

The process always fails on the actual driver package download

Can anyone help?
