Thanks The best thing to do is go to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php . That will give you an option to choose a contrib mirror and will tell you what you need to type into your console. Choosing mirrors is pretty hit or miss - it normally makes sense to choose the nearest one to you, but you may get a slow server, and you have to remember that close in Internet terms is not always the same as geographically close (I'm in Turkey, but I'm closer to American servers than I am to most European ones).

Hmm. urpmi.update -a now (just running it now): main - ftp.sunet.se, no go, can't find an hdlist file :(. contrib - ftp.uninett.no seems OK, downloading now David E.
