9.1 update mirror -- getting file limits with gzip

Hello, Doe anyone know of a Suse 9.1 mirror that is still up? I have a kernel, 2.6.5-7.257-smp, x86_64, and I'd like to update to see if it corrects a problem with gzip which is only able to zip up to 2.0 Gb before giving the following error; "6910 file limit exceeded". Thank you in advance, James
