I am regularly running into corruption within the openSUSE update repositories, i.e. the collections of files as downloadable from mirrors throughout the world.
Do you download directly from mirrors or do you use download.opensuse.org?
I used to routinely start at download.opensuse.org, but that mostly redirects to the mirrors. Nowadays I don't even bother and pick a local mirror that I know to be reliable and fast. And if I do run into mismatches of secure hashes, I branch out to alternative mirrors. If there is way to circumvent the redirection process and download specifically from *the* source, even at (for example) a much lower speed, that would be nice to know. It would remove another step from the troubleshooting process.
And the best way to report it is usually bugzilla.novell.com and putting maintenance@opensuse.org in CC.
Ah, okay. I had expected bugzilla to be focusing on problems with(in) the product rather than its distribution. But I'll give it a try. Thanks for the pointer.
