Thanks that helped, I had to disable it for updates to be recognized.
One would think that if a repo address is ‘bad’, the update system would skip it and go on with the repo’s that are not ‘bad’. Instead of stopping everything.
Software Management is giving the same curl related error message BILL_L described for every repo in my configuration. I can click to skip checking on each repo and after the list has been gone through, Software Manager proceeds in a normal fashion regarding downloads and installs.
I checked the last set of updates (approximately 20 I picked up earlier today) and there was no curl update.
Something has broken curl’s involvement in acquiring updates from the repos.I have no knowledge of these processes.
Our mirror server in Provo is now a complete replacement for download.opensuse.org (including database and redirector). Sadly some files are not up-to date on the machine, so you might not get the latest files that are built in our openSUSE build service for some time.
Meanwhile, we are working on the original download server to get it back as soon as possible.

Broadband measurement via the German Federal Network Agency reveals that, my Downlink is running at 94,1 % of the maximum possible rate and, the Uplink is running at 92,5 % of the maximum possible rate – both of which are bit-rates more than the Agency’s nominal target bit-rate – my ISP won’t receive a visit by the Agency’s staff triggered by unacceptable throughput figures …
Yes, your mileage may vary – depending on the time of day – which is why the Federal Agency recommends testing on two separate days with 10 measurements per day.
If I can find a CLI connection to their test, I’ll write either a user cron job or a systemd user unit to see how everything pans out at hourly intervals over 2 days … >:)
