dont worry! i did the ftp installation of suse also, do it right before you go to sleep because its gonna take a long time. its best to use a mirror closest to you, but this is the one i used:
217.9.113.66
you will then be asked for the source location, which is:
/pub/suse/i386/8.2
i THINK you can use /pub/suse/i386/current
which links to the current version, which is still 8.2.
id suggest you search the suse.com website for ftp mirrors that are close to you.
