Yes - so far, the metalinks don't exist for beta DVDs. But this will change
with the next beta. (As I mentioned in my first mail,
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-11/msg00251.html
which I'm sure you have read, but let me just reference it for
newcomers in the thread.)

Exactly, so far the DVDs are "special Eberhard service" (there are a
few other mirrors btw), but beginning with the next beta, the isos will
be in-tree, so they can become "normal Eberhard service" :-)

The upstream default was recently increased from 2 to 5 connections,
which may be too much under some circumstances. So be sure to adjust it,
see the -s/--split option.

We might need to tune that default a bit, so that it is as adequate as
possible for mirrors and users.
