I've used only the openstreet maps since yesterday, but since nobody else seem to have reported any issues with the download I think there must be something else wrong (than just the site being down). Any ideas?
I got this one too. "An error occured while retrieving the repositories. The web service may be temporarily down."

My solution was to manually insert the URL for Google Streets and Virtual Earth Streets. I do not know the URL for the others (satellite imagery maps and Hybrid maps) so I don't have them for now. MM 1.4x spoiled me with all those other maps to chose from, MM 2.0.1 only gave me OpenStreets until I manually typed in the URL for the other two mentioned above.

I thought this was temporary so I didn't bring up before today. I just tried it again this morning. Looks to not be temporary. Maybe it was fixed in 2.0.2? or maybe there really is a problem outside MM that is causing this inability to acquire the six maps repos that I was accustomed to in MM 1.4x

Gnuite, can you give us the URL for Google Sat / hyb and VE sat / hyb repos so we can manually enter them into MM for now? I loved driving in a large parking lot and watching MM show me on a satellite image (actually an aerial image). It was a hoot. Thanks.
