I've never had the need to reload all patches.

Select FTP, enter a fast mirror site, like:  mirror.mcs.anl.gov
(are the official mirrors all listed somewhere on suse.com)
Directory:  /pub/ftp.suse.com   (changes from mirror to mirror)

Or you can this in to get them direct from the manufacturer:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse
