Weird, it works well when I'm using my GSM internet but DNS problems with WiFi :-/

Every one of those links referencing downloads.maemo.nokia.com result in permissions denied (403) errors (just click 'em and see for yourself). It appears Nokia has gone beyond simply ignoring N900 owners and is now outwardly cutting off support for devices that are still under warranty! (mine is only a few months old!)

Has anyone got a mirror?
I was considering a reflash, but without the SSU repositories, I'd never be able to bring it up to even a basic stable state.

That's ridiculous.
The 403 error is just nokia preventing people from directly viewing a directory listing of the files.

OP, if it's complaining about DNS, then it's more than likely due to your ISP. As you say Wifi works, but GSM doesn't (they maybe trying to reduce how much you're downloading from the one site, by stopping you from reaching the repos.).

Try using OpenDNS.
Settings>Internet Connections>Advanced>IP>Untick DNS and set it to:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

That's a relief.
Odd though... that's the only repo I've seen that forbids listing directories. Any guess as to why they'd do that?

Probably to prevent people from directly posting links to the files to download them.

...but the packages are free, and it's not like they're useful on another device. I fail to see the point.

Now in the ovi repository (where the paid apps are), I can understand it.
