Is there some way to retrieve content from D.OS.O and not a mirror when it seems the mirrors are not so reliable?
There is, but you will have to use HTTPS to benefit from it. (http traffic is handled by MirrorBrain, while https by MirrorCache - mirrorcache.opensuse.org)
MirrorCache will default to downloadcontent.opensuse.org if there is no available mirror for the requested file.
Ug, that's evil. The reason I stick with http is that its about 20x** faster for an 'up-to-date' check. I.e. not downloading any file, but just checking that your current copy if up-to-date. ** talking about <100ms for HTTP, vs. over 2-3 seconds/request on HTTPS. HTTPS _may_ not be that much slower when you get to content downloading, BUT it's horrible for most of the web, that is based on 20-30 small requests to different servers for tiny files!
