For me it seems to be an obvious pattern. The larger the file size the more likely it times out during the download. Alas, I have installed some things but larger things like Python(2.5MB), Canola(9MB), and others fail. I really should wait and try it later but I am like a kid with a candy jar.

In light of the bandwidth issues, I think Nokia should spend a few bucks on some raid storage and load balancing and a few on some PR on the success of the Internet Tablet series. I wonder how many active users are out there based on the server logs.
Take a positive out of a negative.

I have the same issues with canola2 and ukmp. It loads a lot of data, rather fast now (9.3MB / 5.5MB) in 20-30 secs, then the message "installationsdatei korrupt" which means in english: the install-file is corrupt.
I had this after a new flashing of os2008 without restoring anything from older installation.
I had this after loading repos from canola and / or maemo.
It's not only a bandwidth-issue, it's a real issue of one of the repos.

Edit: How to get a non-corrupt install-file??

I just did a direct download of the fmradio deb to my pc and ar x does not recognize it as a debian archive. Just for chuckles I scp'd it to my nokia and of course dpkg refused to install it.

Code:
fmradio_1.5.7_armel.deb  MD5Sum mismatch

The only items I have this "corrupt" problem with requires installing python as a prerequisite. Installing python standalone gives the same "corrupt" error.

Probably because it's not a debian package, but an html page telling that the service isn't available. As if apt-get would parse what it thinks is a package as html to inform the user....

The page should be sending back the appropriate HTTP response code, ie. 503 Service Unavailable, but predictably maemo.org couldn't get that right either, which is why apt-get is getting confused.

Well I'm glad (hope) it's not just me...

Having had a N810 for Christmas (finally replaced my N770), and upgraded to the latest version of OS2008, I was very happy until discovering that I cannot install either Maemo Mapper nor Canola - two major apps.

I get the 'installation file corrupted' message when I try loading either of them.

Anyone else had and/or solved this problem ?
Thanks

Walter
