openZypper Mirror Configuration
0%
Description
Dear openSUSE Admins,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently experiencing
challenges while using Zypper to update my Tumbleweed system. I reside
in Iran, and the automatically selected mirror is inaccessible from my
location. Fortunately, there are several alternative mirrors available
that can provide faster download speeds. However, I am uncertain about
how to configure Zypper to use these mirrors effectively.
Additionally, the manual process of checking the mirror availability
via https://mirrors.opensuse.org before every update appears to be
impractical. My goal is to have Zypper bypass the problematic mirror
and automatically search for a faster, functional alternative.
I would greatly appreciate your guidance and assistance with this
matter. I've attempted to research a solution but have not been
successful in finding one thus far.
As a side note, I attempted uncommenting "download.use_geoip_mirror =
true" in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, but this did not resolve the issue.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Amir

Dear Amir,
this isn't really a question for us. We deal with the openSUSE infrastructure, we don't offer general user support. Your question is best addressed to one of our many support channels, e.g. mailing lists or fora.
Having said that - to bypass the automatic selection of a mirror, you simply need to change the addresses of the repos you are using. For instance, from http://download.opensuse.org to http://mirror.thatis.better.
