It says corrections should goto admin@, but I'm sending here (first at least) because this is not exclusively an admin problem, but also a web presence and marketing problem. Maybe the page should be retired, but I hope not. When mirrorbrain points me to a slow download.opensuse.org mirror, I'd like to be able to repoint to something with decent throughput, hopefully because physically closer.
Do you get a better selection if you use this list?
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/content.mirrorlist
Only in one regard, which is that five of the six listed there are ones that work from the other list and constitute a favorable percentage compared to the 20 out of 27 failing on the other. As the other provides seven links from which packages can be discovered rather than six from which nothing is directly discoverable, it fails in *reaching* the goal via mouse and web browser. If each provided link there took the form http://opensuse.temple.edu/factory/repo/oss/ rather than http://opensuse.temple.edu/factory/repo/oss/content then I would consider it better in most respects, failing in having fewer total working choices, and failing by not offering any clue as to the physical location of any listed for a country whose area covers 6.2% of the planet's total land area. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
