I've added Factory (mirrors.kernel.org) to yast installation sources seemed to work fine - installed a couple of packages from it with YaST sw. Though I was having problems installing with rug but I'll look into that a bit further before deeming it a bug.
Perhaps this is not the place to make wishes/feature requests - but I was wondering if it were possible to have a popup message box - perhaps even with a progress bar - when downloading repodata..
In my experience noobs dont understand that package info for thousands of packages is not downloaded in a split second on a 128 kbit connection ;)
A lot of times people simply think that YaST has frozen - when it is actually downloading or refreshing repodata.

I also tried mirrors.kernel.org, that is giving the same "Media Exception" error when I click on Finish (after about 7-8 minutes of processing). Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said.
