Some of the mirrors are broken or under heavy load, but the redirector is still redirecting people to those mirrors. This coupled with the fact that the openSUSE installer now selects "use online repositories" by default (a good thing) means that many people are experiencing failed installations.
I would be happy, if you can name some ;)

Quite a number of users have commented on this behaviour, I have experienced it myself with 2 installs already. It has also been mentioned in some reviews, contributing to overall bad reviews of 10.3.
Do you you have URLs ?
Lots, seriously. Gut feeling is that currently, there are even more bad
reviews about 10.3 than 10.2 (which is quite surprising, given that 10.3
definitely hasn't got the package management issues 10.2 had).
I think we should collect URLs to bad reviews somewhere (on the wiki ?)
and comment them there, to try to identify what the most annoying
problems were -- and whether it's just motivated by the usual
"anti-Novell-because-it's-in-bed-with-MS" FUD from so-called journalists
or whether they actually have a point. To me, many of the reviews are
motivated by the hatred against Novell and you can feel the tone right
from the start, they're just looking for things to criticize, but even
in those, they may have a point with 2 or 3 things.
Shall we discuss this on -project ? (already answered, I'm cross-posting)
Oh, and getting rid of compiz would probably remove 50% of the problems
people have with openSUSE 10.3 but.. ok, let's keep that for -project :)
cheers
