I have now had Software Updates running for over 2 hours and not completing on both my laptop and desktop Leap installs. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection although I guess there could be n issue in the wider network but I am not seeing any issues accessing any web sites myself in a browser. Nothing obvious showing in the logs.
Anyone any ideas please?

Confirming that, seems like the server for download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/oss/ has problems this morning.
My “zypper ref” is stuck with a very low bit rate at downloading

Yes, however I think it sorted itself out as my system has now completed its update check.

Sort of – haven’t checked my Leap system yet but, the 13.2 had an issue this morning with at least the main update repository – which now seems to be resolved – but, the debug update (13.2) repository still seems to be suffering some sort of issue.
[HR][/HR]An idea question:
Is possibly some sort of “Update Radar” report, possibly on this forums page, a possible method which could be used to inform the community of any issues with the update/patch servers which (very occasionally) appear?
This problem is happening to me since yesterday (february first) on two independent links and on 18 machines. It’s no network or configuration problem, probably a server side issue. Are there any workaround?
Same here, two machines never completes. One is 13.2 and the other is Leap.
Try another mirror or wait
I can confirm this to happen also with Tumbleweed 20160128 to 20160130 by

While also at the same time my wget downloads from e.g. mirrors.se.eu.kernel.org are very fast so there is no acute problem with network itself. I live in Finland.
I am seeing speeds of 10B/s. At one time, it was 1B/s. This is just from starting Yast software management.
I’m not sure why, but I’ll speculate.
People have already been complaining that the new update applet checks too often. Apparently, refreshing is done from the main site and not offloaded to mirrors.
I see the same on 13.2/KDE4, when downloading packages (i.e. not just when checking for updates).
There seems to be a general problem with download.opensuse.org at the moment, there are also 2 bug reports about this already.
The mirror service at SUSE broke. Seems to be fixed now.
Confirming fixed, downloading at full speed just now.
Yast software manager finally loaded. It only took around 2 hours.
I’m glad to hear it is fixed. There’s a new Tumbleweed update that I had postponed because of this. Maybe I can try that now.
