No thank you. I've rarely seen a slower source anywhere. It generally works at 33k modem speed here. I later saw at mirrors.kernel.org that inexplicably they live in /suse rather than in /opensuse. I added that and updated last night.
This isn't inexplicable.

mirrors.kernel.org is mirroring everything accurately, exactly as laid out on the origin servers.
The inexplicable part is that the base tree doesn't contain everything pertaining to a particular release: This: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/ Should be: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/opensuse/update/10.2/ Because: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/ Is not: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/suse/distribution/10.2/
The updater on the kicker still says there are 13 updates waiting. I double checked in YaST online update, and it claims there are "no patches available". I closed YaST and clicked on the updater, then update. It wants to install about 30 additional packages. What's going on here?
YOU shows only patches, zen-updater shows patches and newer versions of packages. These are different kinds of updates.
There should be no way to choose to update with a GUI tool and not be shown everything that is available, except by explicit choice to show less than everything. People are going to see the short list object, choose it, and think everything is all up to date, just like I did last night.
This should become an faq some day. You can make both display the same thing by clicking on the small, hyperlink-like looking thing labeled "Patches" at the bottom of the zen-updater main window. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace." Colossians 4:6 NIV
