Thank you Jan, Tejas and Carlos.
I installed DownThemAll and downloaded a metalink iso from SuSE but did not 
know 
what to do with it
Then I found a list of Metalink compatible mirrors and I am downloading from it 
it appears to be faster (13 hours 27 ' only) I hope it won't stop before end 
and 
will keep you informed of the résult.

Presently DownThemAll is using the metalink as a "referrer URL" ?

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/iso/openSUSE-11.3-DVD-
i586.iso?mirrorlist

and I am downloading from

 http://mirror.ovh.net/opensuse/distribution/11.3/iso/openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso

If everything goes right I should have the isot to-morrow morning. and it will 
be thanks to you.
