Traffic on my server is winding down, but still there. So far its doled out 125 copies of the N800 image and 55 copies of the N810, total around 12 gig of traffic. They are still there if any stragglers still need them:

The nokia site is now down
"The service is temporarily unavailable. We are very sorry for the inconvinience it may cause."
In a related story, it is discovered that the server running repository.maemo.org is actually a refurbished N800 connected to the internet through an 802.11b unsecured wireless link "borrowed" from 92 year old Nokia factory neighbour L. A. Bjørnwirelessen.

installed the new OS on my N800 and works fine. im glad i did a backup and it restored my settings. what i like better is the Restore Applications feature under Application Manager. it did installed mPlayer, UKMP, FM Radio except Kagu it failed. the repositories are still down, im just gonna wait for it and hopefully Canola 2 will be working fine too. thanks Maemo and Nokia and to all here at ITT. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

In an unrelated story, Elisa-Laajakaista Internet Services of Finland has discovered that Mr. L. A. Bjørnwirelessen of Joensuu is in arrears of 30 years of 2400 baud internet service from 1977 through 2007. Further compounding the situation is the discovery of an unsecured 802.11b router allowing others to make use of his 2400 baud connection. Finnish authorities have discovered hundreds of users attempting to download an unusual binary for a Nokia product through Mr. Bjørnwirelessen's internet service. Investigations are ongoing.

Anyone with repository problems might want to try disabling Extras - the standard Nokia/Maemo repositories (the first 3) are fine (if slow) but extras (by default it's disabled) is having severe problems.

This whole situation is quite farcical, and with no immediate end in sight.

Keeping backups of installed packages, for just this reason, is looking like a mighty fine idea.

I've got the update and the flasher all ready to go - but I won't update until this all gets fixed. Right now I might not have an updated OS, but at least I've got a working device with working apps installed. This whole update thing really should have been planned much better.
