I am having a difficult time adding a source that is an ftp source. I can add http sources no problem. Someone earlier suggested that maybe this was due to the ftp servers being overcrowded, but I can put in the url for the ftp site in a browser and view the directories, etc. I
usually get an error message like the following:
Forgotten part..
ftp://public.ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/mandrakelinux/devel/10.0/i586/Mandrak e/base/hdlist1.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Connect failed
It doesn't seem to matter what time of day I try (Mountain Time Zone in US). I have tried at 6:00 am local time to 6:00 pm local time and get the same error.
I am behind a firewall but I don't have problems downloading, etc. via ftp sites other than ones I am trying to set up as urpmi sources. Any ideas?
Thanks! and sorry if this is a bother.
I'm afraid all I can do is commiserate. I've been trying for nearly 2 months now, without a single successful update from any server. I get the same message as you every time. I can even logon to the servers manually via ftp, but I still get the curl error.
I don't know what has gone wrong with curl on 10 - used to work OK on 9.2 - but I had exactly the same problem as you two. Someone suggested using --wget in the urpmi options instead of curl, so I tried it and have had very few failures since I started using it. Try it - maybe it will work for you too.
