Buy a workstation DVD or siimlar, or if you have a fast connection somewhere else, mirror that to a hard-disk or simlar (that is what I do). > this of course is a question of finding files on a site MANUALLY $ urpmq --sources <package> And, I don't see what the original problem is, all mirrors are very similar (some may choose not to carry SRPMS, some may not carry contrib, but otherwise they should be identical). You will find packages in : cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 (which is a link to:) contrib/i586 or contrib/RPMS SRPMS in: cooker/i586/Mandrake/SRPMS or contrib/SRPMS (assuming iX86 here) these paths should be relative to the links on the cooker page.
