[opensuse] Strange choice of mirror

A friend is installing openSUSE10.2 on his computer today... and when
the update mirror part of the install queried for the closest mirrof
he got:
http://ftp.chg.ru/pub/Linux/SuSE/suse/update/10.2
but... he's in the Netherlands.
This only showed up as a problem because a lot of the packages on the
Russian mirror seem to be missing or wrong versions. The result is
that he has to click Skip on about 40% of the apps being updated on
the install.
Why would the Russian server be picked over a much closer and faster
one in Germany? (the usual choice is usually one of the university
servers in western Germany)
If this is an "official" mirror - as would be assumed since it is in
the list of mirrors that the installer checks - why would it be
missing so many apps?
