Note: I'm using the University of Oslo (ftp://ftp.uio.no) as a mirror.

It could be that you have missing dependencies or there is a problem with the update mirror you are using. Try the following: Go to easyurpmi and setup the various main, contrib, plf and updates repos. After that, simply do
or use the GUI tool to update the system.

To keep your sources up to date, remember to run the command below regularly.

Installation failed, some files are missing:
- ftp://ftp.uio.no/linux/MandrivaLinux...007.1.i586.rpm
- ftp://ftp.uio.no/linux/MandrivaLinux...007.1.i586.rpm
- ftp://ftp.uio.no/linux/MandrivaLinux...007.1.i586.rpm

Maybe you should update your mediadatabase.

Errors reported:
...download failed: curl failed: exited with 28

...download failed: curl failed: exited with 19

...download failed: curl failed: exited with 56

Could it be because I'm using a Sattelite-connection when I try to update or install?

It seems like its a problem with the mirror you are using. I would replace the mirror for the main and contrib repos.

I have had similar issues in 2007.0. I simply logged out then back in and the trouble vanished. I was unable to establish a procedure to dependably reproduce the problem so I could not report a bug. I have not detected this trouble in 2007.1 so I believed it to be fixed with the new software management tools. If you can develop a procedure to dependably reproduce the problem, perhaps you can make a bug report.

In that case, can I quickly transport from i586 to 64?

My friends computer seems to have a 64-bit CPU.

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+
AGP: Seems to be a K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control.

Kristoffer G,
I have a 64-bit CPU and am running 32-bit Spring. I tried the 64-bit release and Firefox wouldn't even start so I installed the 32-bit and all is pretty fine. Your fiend might have a 64 bit CPU but that doesn't mean he's running 64-bit Spring.

you can also try the command line urpmi namepackage --wget (or in the gui there is an option to use wget instead of curl). Not sure it will help much, but worth a try
