When access Yast, Installation Sources a dialog for one of the installation sources comes up which says, Downloading Files.... Download http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source//suse/setup/descr/packages It seem to do this no only on Installation Sources, but anything that accesses these sources. Why is it trying to download anything when I am just trying to get into the installation source dialog box?
Yes, I find it extremely annoying to have to wait for the downloading of files, just because I want to change or add an installation source. As a matter of fact, one of my computers with 10.2 has been downloading files for over 15 minutes now, and all I want to do is change a URL of a repository.
This will change in 10.3
