Just in case it hasn't been made public knowledge here:

The maemo repositories at http://repository.maemo.org are now fixed, and can be used for downloads.

Just reinstalled several apps from there to test.

You should disable the temporary repositories (i.e. http://repostory.maemo.org) and refresh your catalogs before testing.

Downloading of the scratchbox environment, etc. also works fine now.

So should we wait for the servers to go down under the load once everyone realises they are back up
