SuSE Sites excruciatingly slow nowdays

Hi.. something has happened to the performance of the SuSE web site(s).. They're incredibly slow nowdays, along with correspondent packet losses most of the time (verified from several different physical networks, etc) Granted this seems to only be an issue if you are not on the continent, but alot of us need the resources that are now only available physically in .DE Len (I wish I could afford to volunteer a mirror but bandwidth is an issue)
