If so, what do you think about it? I just made the switch from endeavourOS. I had some technical issues at first but that’s all fixed now and I’m really impressed. I thought I was done distro-hopping but apparently not.

It’s not mirror selection, it’s just not optimal compared to what Pacman is doing with parallel downloads.
Downloading hundreds of tiny libxcxcxc.so one-by-one is painful. Since switching to pacman, I watch it download these, doing 10 packages at a time. 10 packages in 1 second versus zypper doing similarly sized 10 packages in ~10-15 seconds.
I don’t need the mirror to be faster, I need zypper to handle more than one of these thousands of files at a time. Downloading a 100kb file at 15mb/s is no good to me when it’s stopping and starting 800 of them sequentially.
And I only see the conversation go around in circles especially on zypper’s github.
