The APT repository is broken, have they tested that download link at all??

Anyway I was able to install it manually:

sudo gainroot
wget http://moff.mozilla.com/latest-beta/..._4.0_armel.deb
dpkg --install fennec_4.0_armel.deb

I'm also sorry to report that it doesn't seem to be much faster or have much lower memory footprint than the earlier betas. If the N900 had 512MB of RAM this thing would be the greatest thing on earth, but with the limited memory the device has, it's really painfull unless the only thing you're running is FF with not more than few open tabs.

Am I the only one feeling this way?
