Anyone have the links to the upgrade repos for 11.4? Wanting to go ahead and set those up so when I get in to work in the morning I can start the upgrade.

technically there is no such thing as an “upgrade repo” for 11.4,
instead there are oss, non-oss, and update repos…
they will be available on the public release date and follow the
standard format as was used in openSUSE 11.3 (so, just change the 11.3
to 11.4 will most usually work)

Before you upgrade, please read the Most Annoying Bugs page
(http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Most_annoying_bugs_11.4) and do the Upgrade
workaround. If you don’t, your system will be borked!
reading your links this and this I have a couple of questions:
- it says “The workaround is quite easy - do a ‘zypper up rpm’ before the ‘zypper dup’.” but the upgrade by dvd (choosing upgrade instead of new install) and the upgrade by yast (wiping 11.3 repos, setting 11.4 repos, and click on the switch to system package on the top left )are safe or not??
2)it says "BlueDevil can’t send files via Bluetooth. Workaround: Install the package obexd-client " it means that after installed obex-client I can send files by bluetooth via the applet in the system tray?
3)"other openSUSE installations are not added to grub/menu.lst " can I add the other opensuse installation after install running yast-bootloader???

DVD yes, YaST probably not.

Manually, yes, I suppose.

Looks like the bug referenced on that link has been cleared…

In part. If you do an on-line upgrade, you will be OK. If you download the DVD
and use it as an upgrade repo, then it is not fixed and the workaround is needed.
Yes, I’m doing it from on-line update. Wrote script to automate this for tomorrow morning and set in cron to kick off. Hopefully it will work.
Is there a race to see who is first to download??? 
I hope not, but you can’t blame the punters for being keen.
Compare it to the competition for being the first to post about the latest KDE or kernel release. You can probably name the enthusiasts - just as well as I can… 
The script is test and make sure it works before I have to deploy to 12 other web servers. I’m not going to log into each one and do it manually.
My thought is that with all the early birds hitting the serve the moment it is up and ready it will cause really slow downloads. I’m going to wait a few days and let things settle.
Ok Ready set go
