*Normally* urpmi is a lot easier. Texstar has had problems with his
mirrors intermittently over the last month or so. Also, different
mirrors (for the other sources: main, contrib, etc.) will give you
different speeds. I tried a few different ones before I found my best
setup. Now I almost *never* have any probs. I should say though, I don't
install a lot of Texstar stuff, since it is somewhat focused on KDE and
I don't touch KDE with a ten foot pole.

Try the Texstar mirror at Ibiblio for urpmi, I heard it was back up and
running ok and it should be faster too.
