broken mirror

Hello, Mageia has removed my former mirrors and added another mirror which is always outdated in his packages.

Every time I want to add another mirror, it only connects to this outdated one. How must I reconfigure Mageia to use a mirror which has usable packages?

You do not have to use the mirror that is selected automatically.

https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_man ... nd_updates

Instead of clicking on "Add", click on "File" and select "Add a specific media mirror". You will be presented with a list of the available mirrors and can choose the one you want to use. If it proves to be unreliable, you can repeat the process and choose a different one.

I have seen that the button Add does not work at all because it always leeds to the error message from above. However I could change the mirror now from the menu to add a mirror (Ctrl-S).
But also the other mirror fails.

Finally I found a working mirror from Mageia:

The mirror ftp.mandrivauser.de is not broken. If you care to look closely at the links you will see that the lines refer to the 'debug' branch. We decided to leave out this branch because of lack of space. 'debug' packages are only needed if you want to do debug a packages. If you want to do this, select another mirror.
