Thank you.
I don't know. downloads.maemo.nokia.com is an alias linking into the Akamai distributed mirror setup. As that seems to resolve properly for you, I can only assume that the website is then redirecting elsewhere for the actual downloads, otherwise there wouldn't be the resolution errors. In most cases, changing the DNS in either the router or the N900 has fixed this for others with similar issues. If you use the Power Search function on the right, you might be able to find some alternative solutions in some of the previous threads though.
