aria2 error while adding media....

Hello there, I've just reinstalled Mandriva x86_64 and I can't add new media for urpmi such as PLF. Normally i use easyurpmi to add new media but it does nothing and i get the same error while adding in the terminal
Code:
$urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://plf.zarb.org/mirrors/2010.0.x86_64.list'
...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 2

unable to access the distribution medium (no media.cfg file found)
unable to add medium
I don't see any networking activity at all but I still can use firefox and bittorent and use the mandriva update tool... Also i could add via MCC the normal medias from mandriva free.

Any ideas?

Try adding PLF from here: smart-urpmi you get a choice of which mirror(s) to use. Make sure you choose the right architecture at the start.

i had to reinstall mandriva 2010.0 and i thought that with the smarturpmi, i would be able to add the medias that i need... but here is something that i still can't figure out.

Code:
# ./smarturpmi.sh

Basically it had no issues to add PLF medias but failed to add the Officials media...

Here is the command within the script that i created, thanks to smarturpmi:

All i can think of is the location of repos you've selected may have a problem. If the location is not an issue (or even just to test that it's not a problem with your system) I am using ftp.mandrivauser.de they are working for me. I'm using i586, but I see no reason why x86_64 shouldn't work from that location also. Give it a try and let me know how you get on.

Oddly, this worked for me... WTF is happening?

Code:
urpmi.addmedia --distrib ftp://ftp.mandriva.ru/mandriva/official/2010.0/x86_64
urpmi.addmedia --distrib ftp://ftp.mandriva.ru/plf/cfg/2010.0/x86_64
