No, the SuSE server is incredibly slow.  Avoid it at all costs.  Your best bet 
might be to go through the FTP mirrors list and try downloading a large file 
from each to time how long it takes.

I tend to use one of these three hosts (in this order):

ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/suse/ (Oregon, Corvallis) 
mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/suse/ (Illinois, Chicago) 
chuck.ucs.indiana.edu/linux/suse/suse/ (Indiana, Bloomington) 

I see now that there are mirrors in Texas and Utah, though, so I wonder if 
they would be faster.  Wonder if that has anything to do with being bought 
out by Novell.  I don't remember so many USA mirrors in the past.
