    Problems using smart to install rpms in suse 10.1 i586 inquiry 2

    Hallo!I have been trying to learn how to install rpms (in suse 10.1 i586) form the internet via smart package manager.I provided a new channel e.g. http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/rpm/10.1/ on the YAST2 repository but when I update the channel the following error appears

    Failed acquiring information for 'Guru 10.1':
    http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/...media.1/media: timed out

    The media.1/media: (note the colon at the end)appears automatically when smart tries to acquire information without any intervention from me.I am sure that the http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/rpm/10.1/ url is genuine as I can see the rpms when I click on the link.

    What could be the problem?

    Please provide a solution to my problem and I will be infinitely grateful.Thanks in advance.
