skynet is a faster download ;-)
on openSUSE ftp i get 700kb's, skynet goes to 1,3MB speed here

Skynet is evil. That should be enough.

OTOH download.opensuse.org redirects to different servers. I am now
downloading the 64 bit from download.opensuse.org and am pointed towards
skynet as well. The fact that it is best for you (because you are with
skynet, did not check) does not mean it is best for everybody worldwide.

I often had better connections to atwien or some site in the Netherlands
when I was still with Evonet.

So what my point is, s that the best option in general is to use
download.opensuse.org and only in specific situations use a specific
one. Also when posting better to use download.opensuse.org instead of a
specific one, because it may result in worse perfermance for some users.

OTOH, skynet has 1.000.000EUR extra to spend per year and some
5.000.000 in the near future, probably 3 to 5 years. (Belgian politics.
Don't worry about it.)
