It is so. :) I was confused by that %2f, although I knew it was an 
url-encoded '/'. Changing only the protocol to ftp and that %2f 
sneaked in (dialog showing same url including "/%2f"), changing 
protocol back to http and the %2f was gone.

The url is good, because YaST accepted it as source, and I previously 
installed the NVIDIA packages from it.

I did try ftp the first time I tried to install the NVIDIA rpms, but 
this failed too. I then switched to http, and it worked.

Maybe the ftp-server denied access, e.g. because of too many users?

Did you try again? If ftp does not work, try http.

http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.2 is not browsable because 
directorylisting is denied. Anonymous ftp works, and if it fails 
again maybe you could try with "ftp -a 
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.2/" to see if you get any 
error messages.

Maybe /var/log/YaST/y2log has something (e.g. grep -i 
nvidia /var/log/YaST/y2log).

Cheers,

Leen
