Basically you will be better off downloading the files individually and then installing them all with rpm. However (although I'm not quite sure that urpmi stores all the rpm's if an error occurs - it should!) most of the files should be there somewhere. See further comments inline.

I do not know, but try looking at the urpmi config file (if you read man urpmi you will see that the config file may be /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg If that doesn't tell you then start poking around - the usual file finding tool is locate filename use it to find where (if anywhere) the rpm's have been stored. choose as filename one of the rpm files - searching for kde will produce a lot of output, searching on the full rpm filename will produce a cleaner result. > I do NOT wish to load the whole phreaking > lot over a 56k modem again.
