The packaging and update system in suse 10.2 is a LOT worse than 10.0 or even 9.1. It's not just me who thinks that.
You might have also wanted to tell, that 10.2 is much faster than 10.1. Anyway, the problem of slow mirrors is partly true.
Things have got a lot slower for very little benefit if any. The yast source selection stuff is also VERY slow.
That's, of course, a matter of taste :) --- --- --- Anyway, the 'low speed of mirror' can be sometimes cause by the huge amount of data you need to download - this should be fixed in a new libzypp in 10.3. I'd see a very good enhancement for 'registration' by requesting more online_sources and then by checking which one is the fastest. Reassigning to jdsn since he's the maintainer of registration online update sources.
