> ftp.suse.com is a dog in this neck of the woods. planetmirror.com is the nearest uptodate suse mirror. I get good connectivity to other mirrors around the world too, with rsync anyway. The wlug wiki has a list too. You can try linux.jetstreamgames.co.nz, it may have what you're looking for but be warned it's typically 3 months out of date - no issue for the base distro but no good source for updates.

I have heard rumours to this effect, emphasis on "due course". It's unfortunate that pretty much all the people in NZ who run mirrors have an aversion against SuSE and pass it over. Really though, a NZ SuSE mirror would be nice but is by no means essential. I don't have trouble locating other mirrors which work equally well for me. > Sometimes when I have the time and people ask questions about their suse > systems I have been known to download an rpm to see how the program is > packaged. For that I wouldn't want a whole disk either. But single files are easily obtained from ftp.suse.com (and many other places).
