In addition, you can easily avoid all problems, if you use a metalink client to download. Just use a metalink client and download.opensuse.org, and I *guarantuee* you a download which is working, arrives correctly, and that with reasonably fast speed. You can even combine HTTP and Torrent download with a client that supports that simultaneously.
I have blogged about this a minute ago, so there's something to link to and to spread the information. Read here: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/12/16/best-way-to-download-opensuse/ And please pass it on!
Note that you can download .torrent files in the described way at any time, safely, quickly. Should you need it. But a torrent-capable Metalink client will even *use* the Torrent and download the whole thing you are after.
I just want to say... wow, the downloads seem to have gone off smoothly. I had no issues at all with downloading the 11.1 release. It came in very fast using the Metalink thing. I have to tip my hat to the infrastructure guys and say well done!
