trying to get mandriva 2010 manually
Well it seems that everytime i try to download a iso, once it gets about 20% my laptop loves to just freeze on me, so now i'm trying to get mandriva 2010 into my harddisk manually. When i got these passphrase
urpmi.addmedia kde-4.4.0 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4...driva/2010.0/i
it says this in root
adding medium "kde-4.4.0"
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4...esis.hdlist.cz
...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4...esis.hdlist.cz
...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory
no synthesis file found for medium "kde-4.4.0"
...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 9
I only understand that it has failed, but how can i make it not fail. My system is a toshiba A100 with intel drivers, please someone help. i'm getting a bit fusterated. NOT to mention i have my exam tomorrow and i really need this laptop to study from.

1. Get in root
su -
2. Make sure you are up to date with the version you are using right now
urpmi --auto-update -v
3. Get rid of the old media
urpmi.removemedia -av
4. Add the new media (my example is for the x86_64 architecture)
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/basic.2010.0.x86_64.list'
5. Upgrade (the 2>&1 | tee 2010upgrade.log is optional in case something fails)
urpmi --auto --auto-update --replacefiles 2>&1 | tee upgrade.log
Good Luck!!
