It's because the repositories are down, you can add mirror to your list of repositories if you want.

I added the extras one, because I had to download leafpad.

E: Like this, if you are not sure..

Thought as much, any way of knowing in future if they are down? i.e status page or just guess they are when we can't connect :p

Re: Download of apps failed?
 

The machine hosting repositories crashed some time ago due to a NFS failure.
It has been communicated to the ISP.

We hope to have repositories online again soon. However Saturday evening is not a good time to get hold of people.

ah ok, sweat over, cheers!

ummm i tried it but dont know which one to use
# Extras
deb http://espejo.freemoe.org/repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free
or
# Extras source
deb-src http://espejo.freemoe.org/repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free

Re: Download of apps failed?
 

You just need to use the link ,copy it to the app managers source thingy. (The both links are the same.)

Re: Download of apps failed?
 

deb gives you the actual package to install and use the application.

deb-src gives you the source package to build the application.

99.99999999999% of the people are going to just need the deb one ;).

Can't get software update!
 

Today I was trying to get fresh sofware available for my N900 but after refreshing the system says that some catalogues are not valid: maemo.org and maemo Extras. Well, that is a new situation for me as I did nothing and do not know how to solve that. Maybe some temprarily problem on server? Please help.

Re: Can't get software update!
 

I've been trying to get to repository.maemo.org all day without any luck. Seems to be a server problem.
