           Summary: yast2 inst_source: unable to add inst source

When trying to add the inst source hosting the kernel modules for the NVIDIA
gfx cards

ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.2 

you often get a warning saying that the repo is not signed or the signature is
broken. In that cases yast2 inst_source displays some awkward keyid.

I put some analysis into this. It seem that in some cases the ftp server is
unwilling to perform (e.g. because of resources limit) which causes yast2 to
misbehave.

If using http instead of ftp I can not reproduce this behaviour.

To reproduce use directly one of IPs listed for download.nvidia.com ("dig -t a
download.nvidia.com" gives you a list) to eliminate potentials problems with
round-robin. E.g.

ftp://216.228.115.17/opensuse/10.2 

Attaching screenshot and relevant y2log in a minute.
