I built myself opensuse rpms http://teodori.org/repository/utilities/opensuse11.4/current.html, and made them available for download. If the problem persists, feel free to download my packages. Regards Francesco On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 3:39 PM, C <smaug42@gmail.com> wrote:

You're downloading with a web browser rather than a downloader, right? Try wget, curl or kget instead, real downloaders with real error checking and correction and more that can ensure you get what was on the server rather than something modified in transit.
Or, set up a repo for the Skype download site and let zypper take care of the whole ball of wax.
Yes I was using Firefox4 to download the RPM. I could have used wget... had I initially twigged on the fact that the downloaded RPM was slightly too small and was incomplete. I didn't notice that important little fact (heck, I didn't even notice at first that Skype was a new release instead of the same 2.1 Beta from the last 3 years), and generally, going the route of using curl, wget or configuring a pseudo repository is more trouble than I care to deal with (at least on my work computer). I know how to use those tools, but there is a reason I use a Window Manager and not a Terminal all day. :-)
