Use http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source ftp-1 is my best server these days for all suse and opensuse directories, both regarding performance and actuality. I switched to this for this update. I started over 5 hours ago. It still shows >2 hours remaining. I can't tell exactly how dismal this is because yast doesn't bother to tell the download rate, but I suspect it's in the modem speed range. From good performing mirrors I can download an average CD iso in less than 20 minutes. I should have been done >4 hours ago.
Believe me, this is the best you can do. I have a bandwidth shaping of 800 MBit/sec since 8 minutes (500 MBit/sec before), and about 2200 sessions currently. The server is delivering 73 MByte/sec at the moment - so please calculate if "your part" is fair.
BTW: the remaining 27 MByte/sec get delivered by ftp.gwdg.de. ;-))
I can only guarantee the server stability, not the individual throughput. But the summary. Yes, I can. ;->>
As a side note, and to lighten the load on gwdg.de ;)
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ is damn fast too for
- - stable releases:
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/
- - online updates:
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.suse.com/suse/update/
- - 10.2 RC CD ISOs:
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/distribution/openSUSE-10....
- - Packman mirror:

- - guru mirror:
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/
- - build service mirror:
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/software.opensuse.org/
For some of those repositories, you also have the bigger boys in the
European mirror scene: ftp.belnet.be and ftp.heanet.ie
