Why do I get this when I try to add a repository?

Unknown Error: Downloading metadata failed (is YUM source?) or user did
not accept remote source. Aborting refresh.

No matter which one I try to add I get the same message.

I had exactly the same problem and there does not seem to be a solution
for YAST.

However, using the SMART package manger enter the following two command in
a root terminal:

# smart channel --enable suse-kde
# smart update suse-kde

Then run SMART and your done.
