The point of using mirrors is that you use diferent systems. My update have not broken or failed when you had those problems.
Except, when something takes out both original and mirrors e.g. the recent packman blip...(which had little to do with SuSE). What I did find a little irritating in the latter case I got no option to disable but only the option to delete the offending location.
The only thing that can take out the whole thing is a bad file being distributed from suse to all the mirrors. If one of the servers is down, when Yast checks it and fails, it will pop up a dialog: just tell it to ignore that source. True, the whole thing should be worked out better, so that you can cancel anytime, or skip any time, and get better info, because the message always says something about the CD/DVD being bad, not about the remote source unless you make it show the details. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
