Hello guys,

I just got this error when I try to add media with my mandriva.

hi tata,

  try another mirror since the one you are accessing already got shutdown[1]. the name in the url is already a clue since mandrake has already been called mandriva since release 10.2. you can use the easy-urpmi site[2] in the mandrivausers.org site to select other mirrors and it will guide you with the commands to execute for urpmi.addmedia. for some repositories, i would also recommend that you use the compressed hdlist since it is smaller but contain less package information.

ciao!
