Yep tried various mirrors to no effect.

I noticed many if not all mirrors don't have the updates/tumbleweed
subfolder so anyway it has to pull from the main server in Germany.

On top of that I see that my connection is slow to servers outside India if
using a single thread/connection but if I use multiple connections to
download say the ISO then I get full speed so my ISP's link is not helping.

Indian mirrors are fast for me but like I said the updates folder is not
available.

Anyhoo thanks for the response.
