This most likely happens when the site is updating other rsync sites
and the number of connections is met. 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/

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
