Wait... Per, are you saying that download.opensuse.org is actually some sort of round-robin load balancing address, where each access may go to some different mirror?
Yes, that's pretty much it, but in an intelligent fashion. It's running mirrorbrain which directs you to a geographically close mirror. There's probably some load balacing involved too.
Yes. I understand that it can also give the downloader information to download from several mirrors in parallel, metalink type. The geolocation using IPv6 doesn't work right, I heard, so that you can get redirected to a mirror on the other side of the globe, with slow results... - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
