You need to use the location of the actual files of the openSUSE distribution and not the one with the CD/ DVD ISO image files in.
http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ is the location for 11.1 for example.
The mirrorbrain mechanism ensures to redirect your client transparently to the best or closest known mirror seen from your particular network location (AS) if you use http as transport protocol.
Please consider to update or enhance the wiki page if it wasn't clear enough regarding this point.

Hi Dave, There's one possibility that sprung to mind which may catch you out. In the past when I've accidentally used an installation kernel from a previous suse version it usually failed to find installation sources from the most current suse version. After i used an up-to-date installation kernel I would be fine. It may be easier to just ignore the mirrorbrain service that opensuse.org provides. Looking at your domain I see you'll be on the JANET network so I would imagine the JANET mirror service would be the fastest/most reliable mirror for you. Booting to the installation kernel and using the following *should* work ;) http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/r...
