What urpmi source can I use with Mandriva Entreprise Server 5.2?

Question

I have to install several packages for a customer on an old server using Mandriva Entreprise Server 5.2 (MES5).

I have asked my customer for the DVD-ROM but he didn't find it, so I would like to know if there is an online compatible repository.

I have found several repositories such as : ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/mandriva-prehistory/ , ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/ or http://plf.zarb.org/mirrors/

Unfortunately there is no "mes5" or "5.2" respository. Could anyone please tell me if/what repository could I use ?

NB : I can install tarballs but it would be easier for me not to have to. Dist changing/upgrading is not a solution because it's just an old server that is likely to be replaced in a couple of years.

Thank you.

I finally found a Mandriva repository at ftp.free.fr, I could install all the missing packages !

Here is my /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg :
