Code:

echo "195.113.232.88 downloads.maemo.nokia.com" >> /etc/hosts
echo "195.113.232.91 downloads.maemo.nokia.com" >> /etc/hosts

by using the append-pipe >> we make sure not to overwrite /etc/hosts but to append new lines to it, one host per line.

these IPs are what i get when i resolve downloads.maemo.nokia.com
i have no idea of akamai's network, so i can not guarantee they will work from brazil. also, these are probably temporary and will change.

if you enter "nslookup downloads.maemo.nokia.com" into a command prompt on your computer, do you get a response? if so, use those IPs. if not, there is something wrong with either your internet service provider or akamai (the host).
