My dear friend,
what fixes do you mean, download section is corrupt, that's all.
If you relations with Nokia are so good, please tell them
to go back to standard .deb packages for download.

I and many of my friends live off-wifi, especially indoor and to install anything to tablet from installs, I have to go outdoor, looking around for a free hotspot and spend an hour or more outdoor in winter time.

Is it really so hard to understand that I prefer to download .deb packages to PC or directly to usb connected tablet (memory card) and than install them from Application manager ?

For installs I prefer font size of my PC lcd monitor.

And to download .deb packages there is no need to any fix to maemo.com.
Just move packages and all applications to repositories section, give one text file, detailing each package, application in the repository
and let me and others to download application off-wifi, to my PC or tablet's memory card.

Please visit repositories section. It works fine and fast.

And please use at Nokia the right name for Application Catalog.
Application catalog is exactly a catalog not a set of links to categories or sections.

Application Catalog is here
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/ApplicationCatalog2006

What maemo/Nokia says makes me laugh
"
The new Application Catalog is available for testing. We would highly recommend to use the new catalog. <br/>Please see more details about the usage of the new catalog in the User Manual.
"

They suggest and recommend me to give up a good working catalog and go to a new, very slow catalog.

There is no link at Wikipedia to ApplicationsCatalog2007, 2008
