Just run "SuSEwatcher" and configure it by right-clicking. Ever since they uploaded a huge kernel update that I can't download over this dial-up connection I've had to remove it since it will always be RED no matter what until I DL it.
I have a trick for those big patches. First, I note the full path (or I get it manually), and then I create a little script...

Thanks for the cool tip Carlos. I may try to get that update after all.

In addition, don't forget the international mirrors. http://www.suse.co.uk/uk/private/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html I have had good luck w/ some of the west coast mirrors. YMMV. Others have reported good results with UK mirrors. I use a similar trick to Carlos and a kernel update which takes us 2 to 3 hours is no big deal, when done in pieces. I do: rpm -v --checksig {name of package}.rpm to verify that I got it all.
