    Look up the directory where all the files are and download them all to
    burn them onto a CD. At home put them in a seperate directory and point
    your instalation to that directory. When it then tells taht one or a few
    files are not present, you only need to download that or those few
    files.

    Then browse to your favorite site and browse till something that says:
    suse/i386/update/9.0/

    At least that is what I think. Not sure if you need the rpm directory or
    not.
