Nice to hear, but what’s the actual URL?

(I would like to include it into my mirror list instead of relying on download.opensuse.org because I often run into slow / broken mirrors too)

You seem to be victim of a broken mirror. download.opensuse.org redirects each request to a suitable mirror, but it only check for the availability of the file, not for mirror performance. Please try

curl -I
e.g.
curl -I ‘http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE%3A/KDE4/openSUSE_10.3/i586/kde4-kspaceduel-3.95.2-2.4.i586.rpm’

I think the correct address to report these errors is either opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org ftpadmin@opensuse.org

It would be great if you could use IP Exchange or something more powerful for the main down repository, download.opensuse.org. Installing RPM packages using YaST or directly downloading packages from download.opensuse.org isn’t an experience one would like to have. The connection resets frequently even for small files, 2MB :(
