If you can burn cd's at the cafe, you will want to download the entire updates 
directory for your version.  If you are on 9.1, look at 
mandrake/updates/9.1/i586/RPMS and you will see a slew of update RPMS and a 
file called synthesis.hdlist.cz.  That file will allow you to setup your cd 
as a urpmi source.  Burn that whole directory to cd.

Once you get the cd, do something like

urpmi.addmedia updates file://mnt/cdrom with synthesis.hdlist.cz

and then 

urpmi --auto-select 

and all packages that need updating should be done for you automatically.

Hope this helps.
