First stupid question :- You are online when you do this are you? Second stupid question :- Do you already have an update source defined when you try adding a new one? What are you entering when you add a source? Third not so stupid question :- What do you see if you do 'urpmi.update --wget -a' from a root command line? Post the output. Suggestion :- There is an update for urpmi itself and for curl which fixes issues downloading from some sources. If the urpmi.update command works then update urpmi and curl from the command line with urpmi --wget urpmi curl If that works then the Mandrake GUI should then also work.
