Running urpmi --debug with aria set up to be used shows that urpmi is using a deprecated aria option for splitting connections: urpmi.update -a --debug Error: aria2c: 2012-10-13 13:24:47.278615 WARN - --metalink-servers option is deprecated. Use --split option instead. Affects Cauldron and Mageia 2.
Can be resolved by patching the urpm/download.pm file in the urpmi rpm. svn r5757: Change line 709 from: '--metalink-servers=3', # maximum number of servers to use for one download to: '--split=3', # maximum number of servers to use for one download Another option is to remove this line altogether as according to aria2c --help split defaults to 5. -s, --split=N Download a file using N connections. If more than N URLs are given, first N URLs are used and remaining URLs are used for backup. If less than N URLs are given, those URLs are used more than once so that N connections total are made simultaneously. The number of connections to the same host is restricted by --max-connection-per-server option. See also --min-split-size option. Possible Values: 1-* Default: 5 Tags: #basic, #ftp, #http
