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..
Makes sense, please file an enhancement for YaST - not sure whether it will be done in time for 10.1 but for 10.2 this should go in.
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.
