openSUSE.com? I asume you mean something like:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-i386-CD1.iso

Yes.


That should point you to a mirror.

I see the link now.... way at bottom of page.


Also mirrors are available on
http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version so you can directly point to a
mirror you know will be faster.

Curious. If you choose a non-USA/non-English mirror (say one in Germany) do
you get a non-English version of OpenSuse 10.1?


download.opensuse.org will try to
estimate the best solution.

What I do is I open 3 downloads at the same time. Some mirrors are not
as fast as I could go. That way I can download from three different
mirrors.


You mean 3 wgets of the same iso or do you DL 3 different iso files at same
time?


As you use wget, do wget -c URL and do a CTRL-C and restart when you hit
a slower mirror. You might get a faster one.


Good idea. Thanks. I never used the -c before.

How long would a net install be for a "full-bore" KDE desktop system with
Firefox, multimedia, etc.? Any ideas or a guess?

About the same time, perhaps a bit shorter.


Thought so. It was that way with the net install of Debian Etch. Took
forever!
