With 9.3 they removed all that was under the "supplementay" folder in the 
old FTP hierarchy, and all that had been moved over to 
software.opensuse.org (i.e. new KDE, GNOME etc. packages). They kept the 
patches that had been provided against the original version.
f.e.
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3
is still there.
