@Tami: Ok, I’ll look into it. HK should be close enough from a network point of view. It could be the SDK release.
But good to hear that the download went well in the end

Any suggestions for those of us usign Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit? Maybe any vmware version ported?

@ tekojo: I am currently in Asia (Hong Kong) with otherwise very fast connection. Download speed has been poor in Europe as well in the past after new announcements, but this time it was creepily crawly and forcing me to shepherd the little tablet way past my bedtime.

I went searching for Maemo news and saw that you guys were probably sucking the life out of my download with your SDK announcement.

I don’t know if the tablets are even being sold and supported in Asia so maybe my connection defaulted to some strained server in Helsinki?

The good news is that despite the dozens of download failures the little app manager was indeed smart enough to resume the download correctly and in the end the upgrade installed just fine. Keep them upgrades coming!

And thanks for your interest.

Sorry, no 64 bit support yet. Even if you would recompile everything yourself from sources it does not run properly. However, this 64bit support is in our radar and eventually we want to support also 64bit distros.

@Tami: Which part of the world (country or state) are you downloading from?
The official content from Nokia (like OS upgrades) should be mirrored around the world. To improve the service I would like to know where it is slow.

Just my luck!

I was started downloading the last Maemo upgrade.. about two hours ago, and it’s been the slowest download *ever*. Now I have less than two MB to go, but app manager craps out after every few hundred slow KB to complain “Unable to update OS2008 feature upgrade. Update file corrupted.”

One would think that the “connecting people” corp would also manage to “connect computers”.

I tried rebooting to reset the download, but it still picks up from the broken download like a bad virus. Now I’m just restarting the “Update” after every new “Unable to update OS2008 feature upgrade. Update file corrupted.” error.

At least your SDK download is meant for real computers with real application managers.

Sorry for the interruption. (no pun intended!)

Does it work fine with 64-bit distros?

No Fedora?
