My updates work prety well. Did you make sure you did an on-line update configuration. During the installation, if you are connected to the internet and allow a update, this will be configured. It takes 10 or 15 minutes. If you did not, you will need to do it in YAST. I think, in the previous version, the updates were done either very quickly or was preconfigured. The configuration update do take quite awhile to occur. You should try this first and then do an update. Generally the first update takes a long time.
