No update mirrors found 2007.1


I have just upgraded Mandriva 2006 official to Mandriva 2007.1 spring. When looking for updates, I get a message "no mirrors found" with some message saying it may be that the architecture of my processor is not supported. RUBBISH, I am on the AMD Sempron 3000 which is a 64 bit processor, and I know it is supported. If I install 2007.1 on a clean drive, updates are available. I use programs on 2006 which do not get installed on 2007.1 ( Skype, clamav, Klamav etc). Also 2007.1 has a flaw in the jre environment on some websites viewed with Firefox. I found that upgrading my 2006 with 2007.1 leaves all the programs from 2006 in place and working correctly.The jre also works fine BUT I cannot get updates. How can I reset the update to default so it will show me the mirrors for download? Thanks for any help that may come.

As a result of a "mistake" the entire 2007.1 tree was deleted. Some mirrors may not have re-sync'd yet. Go to:

http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

and select a mirror. If the selected one doesn't work, try another. Most should be working by now.

thanks

OK, thanks for the reply. I had no idea but thought something was funny. I tried this morning about 01.30 (Greenwich Mean Time) and got on the Ireland mirror. Download speeds were incredible (800KB per sec). First disk done now, 2 more to do. Very nice of you to help so quickly.
