software.opensuse.org, frankly, 'sucks' :-( . It is used as the source of the upgrades to KDE. Even though I am on broadband, every time KDE rpms get upgraded I end up with having downloads done at as low as 1Bps - yes *1* byte/sec, or simply hanging/timing out. And when this is the throughput for a RPM as small as ~45MB then the whole upgrading exercise becomes a damn farce. I have looked at the info on the 'Suse' site for the sources of files but cannot readily see an alternative/mirror for software.opensuse.org which contains the latest KDE upgrades (for 10.1). One would think that a site like software.opensuse.org would have sufficient bandwidth to handle all connections efficiently and expeditiously seeing as who owns it, but..... Does anyone know, please, of an alternate site to the above so that KDE upgrades can get done within a reasonable time span and not the aeons - and not to mention all the restarts one has to perform! - it now takes?
