Some of the mirrors that the app downloads don't offer some stuff that
others do, at least thats the apprearance to me.

To see whats happening, run rpmdrake from a terminal and watch the terminal
when its connecting.. you will see what its trying to do and whats
happening.

Thats the advice I was given when I had problems..

Subject: [expert] Cooker?


Hi again,
  I'm sorry to keep coming back with new problems, but hey, don't you love
being bugged by people like me that come over here from other Linux distros
and add a bunch of problems to the list? :-)
  On a more serious note, I think my basic setup is running good now. I've
wiped out my SuSE install, and gave Mandrake 20 entire gigs to eat up.
Ahhhh.... life is good. So, to end my rambling, now that I have my bugs
fixed
I would like to download some of the updates off of cooker.
  I know I can do this via FTP, although it appears that Mandrake Package
Manager can connect to Cooker for me too. However, when I attempt this by
selecting a cooker mirror in the source selection, it chugs along
downloading
something (the list of files?) for a bit, and then says that "an error
occurred adding this source."
  This seems to happen on every cooker mirror I try. Any ideas?

  Thanks,
       Tim
