You are the administrator, so you have to administrate. It is your job.

Go to http://mirrors.opensuse.org/, find a mirror for your version, check 
that it contains the files, and add that repo directly instead of the 
default one. Notice that the download engine uses mirrorbrain, which 
automatically and silently redirects you to a mirror it thinks it is good. 
If it is not, you may be "pissed". Notice too that browsing with firefox 
is no proof, you do not get redirected till you do an actual download.

And this behaviour changes in every suse version.

Else, you might try to activate metalink support (export ZYPP_ARIA2C=1), 
assuming your version supports it (11.1 on 86, dunno for ppc).
