i also use the mirror script for this. My config file for the update of 6.4 looks like this:
package=suseupdate comment=suseupdate site=ftp.suse.com local_dir=/daten/suse/suse64/update/ remote_user=anonymous remote_password=torsten@webit.de remote_dir=/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/ passive_ftp=true mail_to=torsten@slave.xtremeweb.de
Wouldn't it be better to use a mirror site of "ftp.suse.com"? I think that German users (especially users who are connected to "DFN") have a much faster connection to SuSE's primary mirror "ftp.gwdg.de". I am writing this to avoid that many people are simply going to copy your "mirror" config file... "ftp.suse.com" has been under high load for the last months (at least this is my experience), although it became better in last weeks. After the release of "kde-2.0", "kde-2.1", "kde-2.1.1", "XFree86-4.0.3" and the ftp version of SuSE Linux 7.1 it took quite a long time until "ftp.gwdg.de" mirrored all directories completely (perhaps due to high load on "ftp.suse.com"?). Now "ftp.gwdg.de" seems to be more "up to date" again. Best regards, Steffen
