Description

Dear openSUSE infra team,

Since the download page outage on 2021.06.15 I have been experiencing
the following issues when downloading an iso file from get.opensuse.org.

  1. If I want to download for example the latest offline LEAP image (15.3) from get.opensuse.org and directly click the the download button (I do not pick a mirror) the site redirects the user to mirrors that are seemingly not containing the iso file, for example:

http://ftp.vectranet.pl/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64.iso
https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64-Current.iso

This is very interesting because both servers have the image, but under
another name:

http://ftp.vectranet.pl/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64-Media.iso
https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64-Media.iso

Also I don't understand why mirrorbrain redirects downloads from Hungary
to foreign servers when we have two up to date servers locally (LEAP).

If I want to download an iso from the LEAP LIVE section (GNOME LiveCD
etc.) the URLs are fine, but the "pick mirror" option still starts the
automatic download and does not redirect users to the mirror list.

  1. It wouldn't be a big deal because there is the "pick mirror" option in the drop-down menu - as I saw URLs are also OK in the generated mirror list too - , but it randomly does not work and instead of redirecting the user to the mirror list to choose one manually, it automatically starts the download from wrong URLs and/or from distant mirrors.

The "pick mirror" issue is present in both downloads (LEAP, Tumbleweed)
, the bad URL problem affects only the LEAP section exclude the LIVE
images part - as far as I see.

That's all for now. :)

Cheers,

Peter
