KDE 4.4 Update Not Downloading on Any Mirrors [Solved]

[tonyawards]

I am having some problems getting access to the package repository mirrors. It's happening consistently ever since I have been trying to 'equo upgrade' to kde 4.4 but it has been a small issue for a couple of weeks. It will fail on all mirrors and finally default to #8, svn.sabayonlinux.org, but even that is usually somewhat slow. The tail end of my kde upgrade equo output (before it just gave up) is below.

All else on my setup is current (including entropy/equo/sulfur), up to date, and working fine to the best of my knowledge.

Also, I tried to go in through Sulfur, but it freezes and locks down with about an 80% system load, and will not open fully. Any ideas as to what I might do to fix these issues?

Thank you all.

I also found KDE 4.4 slow to migrate to the mirrors but for me it's only been available on equo upgrade for the last 48 hours so should pick up soon. I found that adding a new mirror to /etc/entropy/repositories.conf on my principal machine worked:
repository|sabayonlinux.org||http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/sabayonlinux/entropy|

Hello, all. Thanks for the info - I just tried again today and all of kde 4.4.0 downloaded (along with the other updates) from ftp.surfnet.nl without a hitch. Great work with the mirror issue.

4.4.0 appears to be working just fine except for kmix (same as viewtopic.php?f=53&t=19809 ) but all in all, a very smooth upgrade. Thanks for all your hard work.

And from the equo update list, it looks like 2.6.32 is just around the corner.
