Thanks for the report, but this is not actually a problem with the Mageia system, but is due to they way the mirror operator has chosen to handle synchronization combined with a race condition. In between when the urpmi.update obtained the list of available files and when it tried to fetch the file, the file was removed (replaced with a new file with a different name). Mageia does not control how the mirror operators sync their mirrors. When this does happen, just wait a few minutes and try again. While it's a valid problem, closing the bug as invalid since it is not a bug with the Mageia packages or infrastructure.

Then you need to switch the mirror, or add commands to find a more suitable and efficient mirror to the output.
Given how rarely it happens, the work required to ensure this case is handled without hiding any real problems, and how easy it is to just wait a few minutes and try again, it's not a priority. The mirror operators can minimize the chance of this case happening, but can not eliminate it. Switching to a different mirror will not eliminate the chance of this happening again. It happens much more often for people getting packages from the testing or cauldron repositories where packages, not just the indexes, are replaced with differently named files. It's a situation that affects all file download sites that use indexes and versions of files, not just Mageia repositories. It's something people learn to expect to happen from time to time, and deal with appropriately. The only way the situation can be guaranteed not to happen, is to not use any sort of version in the file names, and to never delete files. Both things would cause much harder to fix problems.
The problem with this bug does not go away. How do I switch to another update mirror? We need a script for changing update mirrors for such cases.

That is, specifically prescribe which version and distribution. I haven't worked with urpmi for a long time
the mirror is set up, you can note that the mirror does not work on Yandex.
