Those are the package repositories for your distribution of Linux
(OpenSuse), and are nothing to do with R, the R Foundation and it's CRAN
servers AFAIK.

If you want to download the R sources, try:

http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html

Choose one near you and then look at the R Sources and R Binaries
entries in the menu on the left.

As for the problem with openSuse, you might need to try their help
forums.
