I’ve been having problems with the Packman Repository for a week, I tried to change Mirror, but the result doesn’t change
@enziosavio might be better to ask on their Support Mailing List https://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
Thanks , first I would like to know if I am the only one who finds problems with the Packman Repository . Because if the problem is only mine I have to look for the solution elsewhere.
Everything OK here in Italy using mirror

As long as you do not show the URL you use, all here is guessing.
I don’t know what’s happening, all the repositories time out, and are not accessible, I did a connection test and it’s fine 95 mega Download 20 mega Upload
enziosavio@localhost:~> zypper lr -u
Priorità del repository effettive: (Vedere 'zypper lr -P per ulteriori dettagli)
50 (priorità aumentata) : 1 repository

A connection test is something like
henk@boven:~> ping -c1 ftp.gwdg.de
PING ftp.gwdg.de(ftp6.gwdg.de (2001:638:60f:110::1:2)) 56 data bytes

Another text you can do is putting this in the addressbar of a browser.
enziosavio@localhost:~> ping -c1 ftp.gwdg.de
PING ftp6.gwdg.de (134.76.12.6) 56(84) bytes of data.

I don’t understand, I stop the updates, not only Packman but every repository times out.
@enziosavio What about;
curl -v http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/repodata/repomd.xml.asc
curl -v http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/repodata/repomd.xml.asc

I’m updating now, it’s a strange thing, it downloads 5 or 20 very fast packages and then it times out, I have to keep ticking “r”, try again and start again
I can’t get out of this situation, I have to waste hours updating a few packages, it always times out
Never wasted time on packman repos. You may try and test:
erlangen:~ # zypper repos Packman
Alias : Packman
Name : Packman
URI : https://ftp.fau.de/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/
Enabled : Yes
GPG Check : (r ) Yes
Priority : 90 (raised priority)
Autorefresh : On
Keep Packages : On
Type : rpm-md
GPG Key URI :
Path Prefix :
Parent Service :
Keywords : ---
Repo Info Path : /etc/zypp/repos.d/Packman.repo
MD Cache Path : /var/cache/zypp/raw/Packman
erlangen:~ #
Their site has impressive reliability.
Unable to find repository ‘Packman’ by alias, number or URI. This is the response to that command
May I please point to the fact that the OP already has an entry for the “Packman repo”, see from his post #
And that adding it anew with different Name an Alias will only make his repo list more messy?
@enziosavio
Please take care, @karlmistelberger tends to post things as they appear in his own shop. That may have nothing to do with your situation.
When you address the Packman repo in a zypper statement you should use the Nam, Alias or Number as they are in the repo list on your system. Nothing else.

And to add, Karl did not even care to read the output from the TO and description, where easily can be seen that the timeout also occurs with OSS repo.
So the issue is not even related to packman only, but to some network issues in general…
