   Not something I've observed, and I have three machines running 15.5 Leap   
   which I update on a regular basis (normally daily).   
   Around 3-6 years ago I was having problems downloading the repository   
   info for some repositories, always around 20:00 - 21:00 UTC.  I think   
   switching to another mirror (and I no longer know how I did that) fixed   
   things.
