urpmi how to avoid some files missing error (tho works on retry)

mandrake 9.2
If I urpmi a package I often get a urpmi error similar to the following example

Quote:

Installation failed, some files are missing:
ftp://public.ftp.planetmirror.com/pu...-3mdk.i586.rpm
You may want to update your urpmi database

If I explictly urpmi <the file in question> however it will then work fine.
Can I avoid this error - eg with a longer timeout somewhere?
It seems a needless effort having to hand select each one
regards,
Peter
