From the Mandrake download site. Tried Tucows and was directed to the Mandrake site. Guess it's the only site to download from.
FTP directory /pub/mandrake/9.0/i586/ at ftp.orst.edu

Try http://www.tux.org/pub/distributions/mandrake/, in the FTP area. The server is down right now, but when it is up, it's fast and reliable.

I got Mandrake 8.2 off of Tux.org the other day. Use Flashget's internal Site Explorer (press F7 in the Flashget interface to open it) and then navigate to the iso folder using the address bar (type http://www.tux.org/pub/distributions/mandrake/ in the address bar, hit ENTER and then just open each folder in the folder tree on the left). When you get to the iso's (name Mandrake-*.iso), right click it and select Download using Flashget)

Waiting for the server to come back up so I can DL Mandrake 9.0.

Crow,

Try the link below. If you are usnig a download manager, simply rightclick it and select Download, else rightclick and select "Save Target As.."

1) CD1: ftp://ftp.chl.chalmers.se/pub/Linux/...-inst.i586.iso

2) CD2: ftp://ftp.chl.chalmers.se/pub/Linux/...2-ext.i586.iso

3) CD3: ftp://ftp.chl.chalmers.se/pub/Linux/...-i18n.i586.iso

Hope that is helpful.

pillaimp: Opened it immediately & #1, no open but, #2 opened & so I downloaded while I had the chance. Success! Thats why I'm late in acknowledging & thanking you. I'll get the rest now....

crow,
glad to be of help. there are a lot of other ftp's onthe Mandrake download page if the one i gave you does not work. look for the "ISO image mirrors for i586" section.
