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 tried using wget to see if that would improve things. It didn't. I
let it sit all weekend and it still was unable to add the source.
However, I logged into the MandrakeClub site and found a mirror there
that works (I was able to update about 120MB worth!). It was an http
source (from planetmirror) so I don't know if I'll ever get an ftp
source to work! Oh, well. At least I can run updates!

[newbie] Errors when defining sources via EasyURPMI
Hi all, 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: 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. -- Travis Crook Visions Beyond www.VisionsBeyond.com 208-478-7836 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

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.

Re: [newbie] Errors when defining sources via EasyURPMI
What I do is set up a security source, the only one I have been able to get working is a french site called proxad I believe. Then I check all the types security, bugs and updates and get about 3 screenfuls select all and go.
