Can someone post the link to the site that had most of the repositories on one page?

Nokia hasn't exactly embraced bugzilla in their work, but this seems to be slowly changing -- there's some actual work happening in bugs.maemo.org. Let's not ruin this by making the bugzilla a flamefest that is useless to the developers doing their work.
Yes fair point, thanks Jussik. Bugzilla comments should try to be constructive, or just use the Vote feature to register your voice.

none of the repositories are working! i am using bora and i tried downloading most of the apps and they don't work, i refreshed the browser 5 times and when it actually downloaded the file the app manager wasn't successfull.

and a did a number of different attemptsfor the past 3 days at 3am 7am and 4pm eastern time.

ps: i agree with ttgowings as the maemo website should be more than capable of such things, just think about it remember when FEAR combat came out? it had thousands of downloaders from all arround the world downloading files of 3gb - they arent a multibillion dollar business and the game was free of charge, i got no lag in fact i got 500k/s download speed

therefore NO MORE EXCUSES please...

I've just flashed the new OS but I regret because I lost all my apps and now since 12 hours I'm not able to install anything
1)flash image not available. Thanks to somebody I downloaded a mirrored one but without md5. I really hope this is the correct image.

2)repository not available. Unable to install openssh. It's downloading 695kb for now 5 minutes. It just hangs.
From my PC, I get this: "An error occurred while processing your request."

3)wiki not available. Their squid proxy is slow as hell. Also the contact email is not valid so we can't even contact the squid admin.

"Nokia certified" my *****
I don't know what's your problem with gronmayer...openssh is included in Testing Maemo Extras repo. Gronmayer is working fine, at least for me.

I didn't say I had a problem with gronmayer, just said it's a website with links to xxx.maemo.org which do not respond. gronmayer is a great central point, much better than the one on maemo imo.
I had to retry 5 times to fetch openssh, using xterm and apt-get
Now still not responding..
Do they provide tranquilizers with the tablet?

I love this community but I must say that the Maemo site for me is the ONLY site I have visited that is most often unresponsive and/or completely fails a request outright. This has become the norm for the last while, not just this past week with the OS2008 launch. Really the only site.

From the view of cultivating the large scale interest around the tablet, this is infuriating for an end-user. Its just as bad as having a wireless 'internet tablet', modern though it is, that can't see N routers? Like what's that about?

Frozen web sites, blind wi-fi, some of it just drives me bonkers.

...and now 'application restore' can't find or source most of the apps that were installed in my Beta OS2008.
How many people really have the time to keep starting from scratch and manually re-installing and setting up their tablets every single time there is an update?!

Well, after counseling patience to others and trying a bit of it myself, I admit, I'm stumped. I have tried now six times to download Python runtime but get the dreaded 'download failed'...right at the very end! It gets to 99% and has me optimistic, then, nope.

Ok, I just checked and didn't have the log enabled, so I guess I'll try again and see what gets logged. In the meantime, has anyone managed to get past this? Is it just a matter of waiting till the demand drops a bit?

EDIT: Indeed, all it took was for me to ignore my own advice, lose my patience and post *another* whine and voila! My next attempt worked.

This whole process has been pretty much a pain. After upgrading from the 2008 beta and using the backup utility I had to do a complete clean reinstall.

The new 2008OS was having to many conflicts with what I had backed up. I could not get any of the repositories to work and the connection icon was completely gone and was not fuctionable.

This has happened each time I have upgraded. You would have thought I would have learned by now. I hope in future updates that this is a focus.

On a positive note. This is one great OS and it is very responsive.
