Title: Updating connection timed out?
Post by: johnb on July 12, 2016, 06:02:57 AM

Have not had any problems updating Linux-Lite 3 until this morning. I tried to update LL3 from the command line and when it reached this line: repo.linuxlite.com:80 (142.54.171.138) the connection timed out. It also displayed this message, some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Just updated LL 2.8 64 bit from the gui and it was much slower than usual but it did update.

Server is slow, I'll get in touch with the Host. Cheers :)

THAT'S what they ALWAYS say!

Translation: We know SOMETHING'S up. We're just not sure WHAT yet. When we figure it out, we'll fix it, but we'll never tell YOU what was wrong, or what we did to fix it...
