The solution is to use metalink. This utility, in very short summary, make a balance between all the available ftp sources and allows you to download from the better one.
as long as the site is available you can look at http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Metalink ... you need a metalink client, there are many for any system (for example aria2 or wxDownload).
A warning: there are three "aria" projects at sourceforge. The "aria" one is: ARIA (Accounting, Receiving and Inventory Administration) is a web based accounting and inventory management package based off the NOLA project. ARIA aim's to be platform and browser independent with multi-language support. which obviously is not the one we want - I found out while trying to install it O:-) -. Another one is "Aria download manager RPM Project", which also isn't, but not so obvious (it is a "download manager", after all). The correct one is "aria2", which is not found searching for "aria" in sourceforge: you have to search for "aria2" specifically. It would be nice if the wiki (http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Metalink) did not only mention the Metalink existence, but also provided a link to a readily compiled rpm for all currently SuSE versions in use (10.1, 10.1, 9.3, SLES, etc), if you want people to use metalink to download 10.2. That means today ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
