I disabled all repositories except the catalogue repository that can't be edited and the two repository.maemo.org repositories in Application Manager.

sudo gainroot

apt-get update

Get:1 http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com mistral Release.gpg [189b]

Ign http://repository.maemo.org mistral Release
98% [Waiting for headers]

and there it hangs. I got a few notifications of 60B/s (that's 60 bytes/second) and it quit.

Enabled red pill mode, no joy. I _am_ able to download packages from repository.maemo.org/pool and repository.maemo.org/extras/pool, so I know they are there. I am just unable to get the Application Manager or apt-get to download the headers, I guess. I am completely at a loss. Since I bought the 770 on 12/10/06 repository.maemo.org and repository.maemo.org/extras worked one single time, following flashing to 2.1.

Thanks for any and all help.
