The repos “openSUSE-Leap-42.1-Update” and “Main Update Repository” are responding to zypper very slowly (bits per second) at the meta stage and have been like that for some time. Other people are also having the same problem.
I can’t find any news about a problem with the servers.
There’s another thread about this already:

And yes, it seems to be a general problem, I experience that here too on 13.2 (and not only with the Update repo).
Thank you, it seems to be working ok now for Leap.
The mirror service broke, so we were all trying to access the same server. But all seems back to normal indeed.
