My solution was to choose individual fixed mirror repos instead of the main one. I tested the speed by measuring individual downloads and set my repos to point to the fastest one. For my locations the best one was in Germany, don't remember the name.
How do you set a fixed repo? I would imagine it could need to be done on a per-repo basis. The most likely mirror for us is sunet.se. But it may not mirror Packman, Google, or Nvidia...
And, how to set this for zypper and yast?

I went to yast/software_repositories and there you have urls for each repo. By default, most of them are "http://download.opensuse.org/..." something. You can edit and change the url to another fixed mirror. Now, how to choose which one to put where. There is a list of all mirros somewhere on opensuse site. You have to check which site mirrors which repo and make your own choice. Try http://mirrors.opensuse.org/. Just avoid ftp sites and slow/distant servers. You're right regarding packman, it's not mirrored this way. I think most of the IronPort problems is caused by dynamic mirror/IP change of download.opensuse.org, and this doesn't happen with packman and others. ~rmš~
