When susewatcher fails to connect, it doesn't report "no updates available" it reports "failed to connect" and turns the little green dot yellow.
But we were talking about using mirror URLs for YOU/susewatcher manually put into /etc/youservers and in this case you do get a green dot creating a wrong sense of security. Of course, sooner or later the mirror will provide new patches, but this way one would be left unnoticed how long the main site was down. Finally, puting the user´s attention to a higher level from time to time might not be the worst thing ;-) Malte
