Zypper seems unable to reach the openSUSE servers. I am currently on a network that may or may not block certain traffic, so I don’t know if their firewall is in the way. I am able to browse the web without any problems. Sometimes Zypper downloads proceed eventually, but the download is doggone slow. I did this:
pdedecker@linux-qhij:~/Desktop> sudo zypper up
^CDownload (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/content':
Error code: User abort
Error message: Callback aborted
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?] (a):
Apparently Zypper has trouble downloading this URI, but if I open it in Chrome it loads perfectly without any problems. How can I find the root of this problem?
Can’t tell much from the output you’ve posted other than that you aborted the process manually. However, if this seems to be the only repo that’s giving you a problem, you can safely disable it. Most people don’t need the source code. Show the output of
zypper lr -d

It takes a really long time for the repositories to update and then I see the “Patches” screen. I’m still getting the same results if I use su - and clean the repo information first using zypper clean --all .
I can download updates, but everything is painstakingly slow until the moment when the update packages start downloading.
Do you mean, they actually download normally?

what a mess! have you read the paragraph beginning with “IMPORTANT” herehttp://tinyurl.com/33qc9vu
–Caveat -Hardware -Software -
The packages do appear to download normally after the enormously long wait for the repository metadata download is over. A few days ago the packages seemed to be downloading at a slow speed as well, but I will retest.
I will throw out unnecessary repositories now. I’ll keep you posted.
I have deleted/disabled some non-essential repositories and I’m down to 13 repositories.

I made some edits for you. Though changes made here are not going to make it work, but that’s a better repo setup. I would consider doing a zypper dup to bring everything back to original and then put the switch back on Packman.
I’m not worried about the repository setup as long as all packages keep working smoothly. And to be honest, I don’t have the time to mess with my repository setup right now.
I’m a KDE user. Should I get a Wireshark log to see where things are going wrong? I suspect that certain traffic fails to make it to the server or back to me.
