OK, this isn't going as expected. I chose (as I usually do) to fetch the DVD .iso image and write it to USB. However, depending on how I try to grab it (left-click vs. middle-click/Save link as...) the .iso either does not exist, or is only 153 bytes, which is curious because, when I load the repo in Firefox, it says it is 4.3 GB.
Try using a downloader instead of a click:
wget http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.6/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.6-D...
Thanks, Felix -- I tried that; here is the result:

So, it just sent me straight to muug.ca where (as I noted in my last post) build 669 no longer exists.
Or use the NET iso. That way, you only download what is needed by the installation process, and the packages to actually be installed. I thought of that, but as I mentioned to Knurpht, I am a suspicious person. I would prefer to avoid the (remote) possibility of a power interruption in the middle of a system upgrade. That is why I prefer to use the full DVD images.
Anyway, I now have build 680 and its sha256sum checks out, so I am happy.
