The repo is found at http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/10.2 (ok:

I see, but YaST could be smarter: download.opensuse.org have a list of all the mirrors. Then, I don't mind to forgive adding repos, only give a strong warning not to have duplicates

For this to get any use for normal people, the speed has to improve
drastically! I changed all my repos away from opensuse.org, as the
redirector is way off regarding speed. I preferred looking around for
some mirrors for the online source and also for the buildservice repos.

yes... but I think this is quite easy to acheive. I wonder what kind of HW/SW is needed here, there are not so many calls (theses are not primary DNS servers :-).

See the working of the wiki when 10.2 went out: quite good compared to 10.1 out :-). So this is a power problem, and very cheap AFAIK comparing to the other costs, probably easier to cope with than to have a updated mirror index :-)

Mirror problem:

I don't know exactly how mirrorring is done here. openSUSE repositories are very hudge.

It's very easy to indentify an update: suffice to have an unique name file (for example the date as name), but howmany time make a mirror to sync? I beg it's possible to have a mirror stop in the middle of a sync op, so part is synced and not all. too difficult for me :-(
