Try this site, just used it to download the srpms, had no problems. ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrivalinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates/ HTH p.s. have you heard of using more than 1 source for your rpm needs ? You can type: # urpmi.addmedia --distrib ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrivalinux/official/2006.0/i586/ will add this one as a source, adding Main, Contrib and number them accordingly. You can also add additional media for updates: # urpmi.addmedia --update updates_ciril ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrivalinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates/ So what we have now is something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: etc/ # urpmq --list-media --list-url update_source http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux//official/updates/2006.0/main_updates main ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/main plf-free http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/plf/mandriva/free/2006.0/i586 plf-nonfree http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/plf/mandriva/non-free/2006.0/i586 Main1 ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2006.0/i586//media/main Contrib1 ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2006.0/i586//media/contrib Main2 ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/2006.0/i586//media/main Contrib2 ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/2006.0/i586//media/contrib updates ftp://ftp.song.fi/pub/mirrors/Mandrake-linux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates Main3 ftp://ftp.song.fi/pub/mirrors/Mandrake-linux/official/2006.0/i586//media/main Contrib3 ftp://ftp.song.fi/pub/mirrors/Mandrake-linux/official/2006.0/i586//media/contrib Main4 ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrivalinux/official/2006.0/i586//media/main Contrib4 ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrivalinux/official/2006.0/i586//media/contrib updates_ciril ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrivalinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates Hopefully helpful, -- RickS "It is common sense to take a method and try it.
