Yes, it appears that the HOWTO links no longer work, as the tiscali.co.uk 
site that held those pages is no longer valid; however, you can view the 
Google cached version of that page at:

As you can see, you're not missing much. The other (non-HOWTO) links on 
the urpmi.org page work, and most of them provide the full man page for 
the command in question. The information on the urpmi man page covers the 
"--parallel" option and the /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg file, to some extent.

If you can decipher Perl, installing one of the required backend RPMs for 
parallel operation, either urpmi-parallel-ka-run or urpmi-parallel-ssh, 
will provide a Perl module that may or may not offer further information, 
either in the comments (one hopes <g>) or in the flow of the code itself.

HTH!
