Refresh Failed re: repositories

Opensuse 11.0 KDE 3.59

I am getting this error when I try to do updates, either thru Yast> Online Updates or when I click on the Yellow triangle at bottom right of my screen:

Refresh failed: Error: Could not refresh repository ‘Main Repository (OSS)’: Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s) History: - File ‘/content’ not found on medium ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss’

I have searched in Google and in this forum, but cannot find anything about it.
I have gone into the repositories and deleted them and reinstalled them, but it does not change any thing. The triangle stays yellow and I am not able to do updates. I don’t have a lot of repositories enabled, only some from the List of online repositories: Main [Updates], Main [OSS], Main[Non-OSS], Packman.

Any ideas what I should do?

Normally resolves itself - could just be the repo updating… Wait two or three days, if no joy then, start taking measures.

I will wait and watch for a bit.
What would the ‘measures’ I would be taking if it doesn’t clear up on its own?

It will clear up
But try a different mirror
openSUSE Download Mirrors - Overview
