What Curtis said too. Opening those links in a browser should get you to the 
server/directory. The key sub-directory is the repodata one. If that's 
visible then YaST _should_ be able to handle it. I am having no problems 
with any repo's I have defined, today at least. Last week and over the 
weekend I had trouble with one site because the permissions in their 
directory structure were messed up so I couldn't access it. Fixed Monday AM 
though.

Not sure what all the troubles are except to guess that possible bad 
permissions get replicated out from Novell/SUSE, the load is too high on 
the mirror servers for any number of reasons, human error somewhere in the 
mix, etc. 

I don't think its a client side issue where our installs of openSUSE 10.2 
are bad, there's a YaST bug, another zmd headache, etc. I perceive it to be 
on the server side because I don't see comments about chicken sacrifices 
fixing anything. Well, at least mine haven't worked...
