It depends which mirror you go to. Some seem to end in "Mandrake/", some in 
"mandrake/" and some in "Mandrake/mandrake/".

Then all the scripts need to be fixed :-( I've tried most of them, and none 
of them works as they stand.

I added "RPMS/" to the end of the script for one of the California mirrors 
(since they are the closest to me), but that didn't help. Are there other 
directories that are supposed to appear between the "mandrake/" and the 
"RPMS/"??

FWIW, the actual command (replacing the name of the mirror since this is a 
public list), downloaded directly from the club "URPMI Setup" link is:
  urpmi.addmedia -h xxx_ ftp://xxx/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/

As I say, sticking "RPMS/" on to the end of this didn't change anything.
