Has anybody tried apt-get for 9.3 recently? It seems to me that it has slowed down the past couple of months. The web site for apt-get for SuSE does not even mention the 64-bit 9.3, let alone 10.0. Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file:
# Start rpm ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.3-x86_64 update security rpmkeys
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.3-x86_64 kernel-of-the-day suse-projects rpmkeys base update-drpm update-prpm update samba3 suse-people kde misc packman x-ati mozilla suser-scorot suser-jmorris security-prpm security
rpm-src ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.3-x86_64 kernel-of-the-day suse-projects rpmkeys base update-drpm update-prpm update samba3 suse-people kde misc packman x-ati mozilla suser-scorot suser-jmorris security-prpm security
# End
Any suggestions for faster downloads? Also, the repositories I have declared list an update for arts, but --after a long wait-- I get an error that the file cannot be retrieved from the repositories.

ftp.gwdg.de is often very heavily loaded (thousands of concurrent downloads). It may occasionally help specifying one of their sub-servers (ftp1.gwdg.de, ftp2.gwdg.de, etc) directly instead. Try browsing them from konqueror to get get a feeling for where the load is lightest.
(And, yes, I know this defeats the purpose of "virtual" hosts like ftp.gwdg.de but what a poor bloke supposed to do when all else fails... ;-) )
