Seeing it where? Are you perhaps seeing it somewhere where the words 'New downloads' also appear and that's why you've put that in your thread title (which otherwise bears no apparent relation to what is in your post)?

I thought that maybe they meant in the 'download linux' section of the site-
There's no download on that page for Mandriva Extreme 5. Or even Mandriva Xtreme 5. (You do understand that Extreme and Xtreme are not interchangeable when it comes to the name of something and searches, right?)
What's on that page you linked is some garbage plus a link for downloading a couple of a beta of Mandriva Linux 2011 and a version of Mandriva 2010.
It's one of those sites where they offer you a download link for anything you search for. It's just Google bait. Look, they have sponsored links for download made_up_things: http://econo-soft.org/acb/made_up_things.html Sites like that one are to the Internet what urine is to a swimming pool.

Reason: s/are ones/one/ so it makes sense

+1.
Just because you get hits on a term doesnt mean that the hits exists...and if they do exists you may not want them. Unless you like your new OS to come with a free rootkit.
Its always best to go to the source for d/ls, or at least go to a site you can trust. I almost always d/l .isos from the distros page. I wouldnt have any real problems d/ling an .iso from here, but getting a .iso from a random filesharing site is just crazy IMO.
