I think that nowadays with cheap pen drives it makes more sense to use the DVD image's installer instead. That's not the only consideration.
One, is that not everybody can download a DVD fast. For me, it can take about two days. Ok, I can do it in a day, but then I can not do any other thing, because my internet pipe is filled to capacity. Or, download it during sleep, leaving a machine running for that purpose.
There are other alternatives: * find someone who has fast internet access and ask him/her to download the DVD for you; * find a local Linux User Group who will burn a DVD for you; * get openSUSE Project team to send you the DVD; * find a shop which distributes Linux distros and buy a copy of the DVD.
Another, is that often people download the lives to test them, and after they decide they like the system, they install it. That one, is, IMHO, a very important consideration.
