I really need skype installed. I am running Diablo.

If I go to the app installer and follow directions in this forum and enable the maemo repository, the installer just sits there for hours and says "checking for updates". I have also tried downloading skype and then the installer just says preparing to install but never goes any further.

I really need skype on this n810 by tomorrow. It used to work fine on my n800 until the n800 died and could not be revived.
