 I have tied about 5 different mirrors to set up my 9.2 contrib in

 I continue to get this error;
 medium contrib uses an invalid list file:

 are all the mirrors wrong? anyone got a good mirror for 9.2 contribs?

There is an rpms2 symlink in the main dist tree for contrib, so try  

urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://path/to/mandrake/RPMS2 with ../base/hdlist2.cz

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
