Mirror
From openSUSE
Definition 2: On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site. Mirror sites are most commonly used to provide multiple sources of the same information in order to spread total server load and connection bandwidth. The mirror sites are short called mirrors. They are a way of providing fast and reliable access to the files on the sites with popular (and large) downloads.

Development versions in test phase marked Alpha, Beta or RC (release candidate) is for advanced linux users that can:
- identify subsystem that is making a trouble, or
- understand sometimes relative complex advice how to isolate what subsystem is making a problem, and
- use command line (invoking a shell, switch to root, mark and paste output to mail client)

The Factory version is fresh from "assembly line" and the only fact known about it, is that it was compiled. If you don't understand the previous sentence then it is not for you, for sure.
How good or dangerous it can be depends on many factors, and only developer, packager and experienced users can understand the status, looking at changes from the previous version to tell what are possible consequences.
The first people that will load Factory are mainly experienced testers that sometimes use dedicated computers, so if something goes wrong there are no problems with lost data.
