It is possible that the mirror you're trying to reach is down (that happens to me frequently these days)

1) open an x-term
2) get root privileges (type "root" on the command prompt)
3) run the following command: echo "63.84.95.11 repository.maemo.org" >> /etc/hosts

Make sure you put 2 ">" signs or you'll get into troubles...

If you want to check first if that's the issue, try "ping repository.maemo.org" as root in an x-term session.
