Hi Barbara and Civileme, I've had the same problem, and I've tried two sites: ciril.fr, and when I tried to download the list of mirrors, stealth.net. Boith gave me the same problem. I've deleted the list another way "delete" in var/lib/urpmi -- will that cause problems? If you could suggest a good site, one that works, it would be appreciated since I think I'm overdue for updating (July '01 was my last succesful attempt!)
