if you would look at the post.. i said.. the browser is also reporting that the page is not found.. so it seems to be a problem with linuxpackages.net... i just didn't know what the deal was...

I tried ftp.linuxpackages.net through FTP - no luck - are you sure it serves FTP, I use HTTP and it works fine. Swaret is used for updating packages from official site and it's mirrors.

you have to edit swaret.conf and uncomment the linuxpackages.net link

yes I'm aware.. I did uncomment it.. I downloaded the swaret-development release, and it works. I double checked the LP.net mirror and *that one* uses http...so apparently when the original swaret was release it used FTP, and now it uses http...

Thanks for the help guys..
