Invalid Repository 'openSUSE:Leap:15.1:ARM'

I am a new user of OpenSUSE and this is my first post on this forum. As the title say, I have an invalid message whenever I update or install. This is printed on terminal:

Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.

I am not sure of what I should do. I attained this repositories from OpenFOAM RPM installer and this is the repositories it adds:

Is there something wrong with the repositories? or can this problem be fixed entirely by removing them (and how can I do so if so)?

Hafiz, please read the warning on top of the forums page. There’s probably nothing wrong with your repos, but the rsync server is down, which makes the mirrors not work as they should. Please have some patience until it’s fixed.
