Hi, ftp.opensuse.org has too many users. I don't expect something else. Directory of http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge/inst-source/su... takes 45 minutes to load. No chance to get a single rpm in valueable time frame. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge has a timestamp 2005-10-23 05:59 (something new ?) but permissions drwx------. ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-edge (the nearest, I live in Erlangen) is open and fast but outdated.
