Strom and apt-get

[Wonock]

Everytime I use apt-get update or upgrade or a package it just sits there saying retriving file at 0%. I changed the source list to the ftp servers they have for ftp apt-gets but it still just sits there.

Wonock :confused:

Post your /etc/apt/sources.list and someone may be able to help.

Could be the servers are down.

Yeah, it's most likely the servers are down. Some of them were down recently (on my list anyway), and they don't time out for a LONG time. So, you might try waiting it out (i.e. do something else while it tries). If it craps out eventually, it should say something like "Data socket timed out." But if it never does (meaning >20 minutes later), then something is messed up.

Storm Linux filed for bankrupcy and I believe their servers are down... But Storm is based upon Debian Potato so just edit you /etc/apt/sources.list to:

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/ potato main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/ potato main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/ potato main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/ potato main contrib non-free

That should cover it.
