Urpmi unable to update

[baijin]

My urpmi was working, and now I get the following:

...retrieving failed: curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 503
retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed
no hdlist file found for medium "plf-free"
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf-free.cz]
problem reading synthesis file of medium "plf-free"
found 0 headers in cache
removing 0 obsolete headers in cache
write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg]
unable to update medium "plf-free"

I've also tried using different mirrors from the urpmi site, but still get the above.
Any suggestions?

I think I may have found the problem with Urpmi and the 503 error. I had configured TOR and Privoxy to work with my system earlier and I'm currently not using them. Obviously I didn't disable them in the config settings.

I went into the configuration menu and disabled the proxy settings but I still get this 503 error. Any ideas on how to disable this proxy setting manuelly, using a terminal?

Ha for the browser, what setting you are using?
You need to use proxy for your browser?
Whats the output of "proxymngr"?

My browsers are currently set to connect to the internet directly. Unless I use my VPN or TOR/Privoxy.

PROXY_MANAGER=local/blackbox:/tmp/.ICE-unix/6500,inet6/blackbox:6500,inet/blackbox:6500

Also curl and wget not working. All other internet apps work normally. IE "knewsticker, browsers".

Everythings working fine now. Don't know why. Maybe I needed to re-start the X-Server after resetting the proxy configuration. It would be nice to find out how to change proxy settings within a terminal.
