I believe you can download them from the mirrors as well. For example, I usually use the unc.edu mirror, and if you start from the iso directory, you can backtrack to the directory with the RPMS. I believe it's http://jungle.metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake-deve l/cooker/ppc/Mandrake/RPMS/
And I believe Stew also has some updated RPMS at ftp://ftp.wtfo.com/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker/ppc/Mandrake/ I've never gotten the security site updates to work, but I haven't tried for a while.
