Download it , burn it on CD and add it with urpmi.addmedia -f or as 
nicer solution: d/l => save the rpms in directories that fit on one 
disc => go in that dir and run "genhdlist ." (The point is important). 
This will give you a hdlist.cz for that RPMs. 

If you want to download all that is available but not on the 3 cd set, 
one CD isn't enough (hint: contrib/plf/java/club/...).
