Repositories not connecting

Hi,

Is anyone else having problems with the repositories today??? Especially download.opensuse.org

Cheers!

No.
Issues like this are usually short lived. And strangely they do seem to happen at weekends.

okay…Thanks :slight_smile:

i agree…

my theory for the explaination is that while mirrorbrain
<http://www.mirrorbrain.org/> is a wonderful piece of magic, it can’t
cope with all the (for example) universities or gov sites around the
earth that go off line for some minutes/hours during the weekend for
‘routine maintenance’ [while the kids are getting sloshed and the
bureaucrats are collecting bribes]…

i mean like: mirrorbrain might pick and provide a route/target for
etech97 on saturday that was wonderful on friday, but Kaka this minute…

and, s/he gets zero happiness–with no apparent reason as to exactly why…

what think?
