Hi, I'm attempting to use MandrakeOnline from within Gnome to update my installed software. The system is a basic workstation install of Mandrake 9.0. I ran the MandrakeUpdate Wizard just fine, registered the computer on the website, etc. During that process, I picked the first ftp site on the list...
ftp://ftp.stealth.net/pub/mirrors/ftp.mandrake.com ... I run the application, it contacts the ftp site and updates it's list of RPM's just fine. I'll pick an RPM and the app will come back with the appropriate dependencies and check them off. I click install and sometimes it works fine. But most of the time (especially with the larger downloads) I get... "There was an error downloading package: ftp://ftp.stealth.net/pub/mirrors/ftp.mandrake.com/Mandrake/updates/9.0/ <RPM name> Error couldn't connect" With the option to continue or cancel the process. I'm not sure if something is configured incorrectly or if I am just having trouble with the above ftp site. Where can I change the ftp site that MandrakeOnline uses, and get a new list of sites, hopefully finding one closer to the East Coast (US)? I'd like to do this without having to go through the whole registration process again, but will if I have to. Any thoughts? Thanks!
