Yast has issues downloading from repositories
Lately, the Yast package manager has been having several annoying issues downloading packages from the repositories. While downloading, yast will suddenly stop downloading and give me an error that says "Error: server time out" or something like that but yet, when I tell yast to retry, it starts downloading again..
It will probably do this 4 times during a download, depending on how large the download is. This generally only happens on my work computer but, occasionally it will happen on my home computer as well. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary; I've left almost all of my settings default. How can I fix this annoying problem?

Quick Fix
Disable the repos for opensuse through yast and add in the repos from mirrors.kernel.org. I noticed some problems while I was updating the other day. Kernel.org seems to be a little more reliable.
