Download the delta iso and use applydeltaiso to the old iso.
applydeltaiso
I've been using this method since 10.0, downloads are much quicker and applying the delta is certainly much faster then waiting for the torrents to finish.
Upto the removal of the separate CDs ISOs, I used to download the deltas using FTP and start sharing them. Then I applied the deltas to create the full CDs and started sharing those. With the removal of the CD ISOs, I had to download the full DVD ISO. Since then I've gone back to the "download delta, start sharing it, apply delta, start sharing full DVD"[0]. Being distinctly lazy, I configured Azureus to auto-start torrents in a particular directory and then scripted everything so all I need to do is start it off and go to bed. By the time I get up the following morning, the full DVD ISO is ready and the both the delta and full ISO are already being shared. [0] Well, this time I've also got the Gnome and KDE CDs being shared as well since I had a play about with them and makeSUSEdvd to add the Packman repo right from the start. I would have added Guru as well, but the 10.3 repo is empty and the beta2 installation crashed when it was enabled :| Got to have another go and see if they've fixed that bug.
