I'm using OpenSUSE 11.0, KDE3.
In older versions it was possible to chose servers for SW download/update (Yast suggested some based on "proximity", but you could chose another server. Currently it looks like server is selected automatically.
I have persistent problem with the server for build service Mozilla: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.0. I could see that I'm redirected to ftp://dispenser.yandex.net/opensuse/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.0 and YaST times out consistently on that server. So I have to download manually from different mirror.
Is it still possible to chose a server or to blacklist specific server?
You can use your /etc/hosts file to redirect the IPs of bad servers to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0, forcing updaters to look to other servers, and preventing images loading from adservers among other things. -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
