I went to the club site, clicked the "Downloads" box, and then the "MandrakeClub mirrors script" link (which is the first link in the text on the page), which gets me to:

Then I click on any of the "URPMI setup" links, and cut-and-paste the
command into a root terminal session... and get the errors I posted
yesterday.
I just finished my install and have the exact same problem.
Adding --wget doesn't change anything. The plf script worked fine but the ones on the club download pages don't. I'm not really sure what to make of that error...
The path that the club script gives me ends at Mandrake/ on the mirror.
It depends which mirror you go to. Some seem to end in "Mandrake/", some in "mandrake/" and some in "Mandrake/mandrake/".
I'm pretty sure it's a script error and the subdirectories up to and including the RPMS/ directory need to be appended to the path for it to work.
Then all the scripts need to be fixed :-( I've tried most of them, and none of them works as they stand.
I've sent emails to the webmaster, St�phane Alexandre aka Fafane @ the webmaster link on Club pages. You should do the same, detailing your experiences.
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.
Go to the url the script gives you, drill down to the proper RPMS/ directory, then the address in your url bar will give you "the subdirectories up to and including the RPMS/ directory", and the relative path the the hdlist.cz *should* be correct as can be confirmed by navigating to parent directory/base/. This path, as I recall, is ../base/hdlist.cz. Verify for your case. I ran into this once before and I think this will work.
