Ahhhh! That's it.

And... if i manually copy the files from 
/var/cache/zypp/packages/packman/i586 from one computer to another, 
will those be picked locally instead of downloaded?

A trick we used time ago was to publish that directory rw via nfs, and use 
it on all the computers, but i don't know how willthat work with libzyp 
:-?
