It starts searching for updates and these messages appear on the terminal:
--10:10:08--
ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.0/base/hdlist.cz
=> `/var/cache/urpmi/partial/.listing'

1) As can be seen, it tried to connect 17 times (over a period of 2 minutes). There is
no option
in mcc to set a limit to the number of connection attempts.
2) Whats as bad as 1) is that the pop up window which asks to start searching for
updates,
goes blank when the update search is on. This means, even it had a button "stop search
now"
it will not be visible. In other words, there is no way to stop this search.
Killing mcc is the only way.
