And I though it was just me - try a tcpdump on another session for port 20
and 21 and see if you get a "Connection reset by peer" under the covers. My
urpmi.update runs fine - indicating that wget is OK. Which mirror? I had the
problem on sunet and sunsite, haven't tried others. Interesting too, only on
one machine - my other machine seems fine. What's the urpmi version? (note,
I'm not the developer, just curious to see if there's any commonality).
