Actually, it is not that hard. If you've found a good, up to date 
mirror, you can do it along these lines :

Open a terminal, become root and type :
urpmi.addmedia main <here you can copy & paste the URL of the ftp 
server from i.e. a browsers address field, when you are in the 
correct directory>.
Then go back to the browser, go up  parent directories until you are 
in the <base directory>. Notice how many times you have to go up. 
Now, be sure to find a file in the base directory called hdlist.cz.
Go back to your root command line, and append to your previous 
line : with ../../../base/hdlist.cz  (where the ../ represents one 
directory up).
Finally, run the command. Repeat those steps for every source, i.e. 
contrib, updates and so on.
