On a hunch, for the maemo Extra repository, I changed the address to http://repostory.maemo.org/extras/ (catalogue maemo extras, Chinook, free non-free). I was then able to download immediately with no problem.
Could it be a simple spelling mistake leading to all this trouble?

Somebody has got to sticky this information.
O.k maybe it is an Apple joke or some espionage. Really I have to work on some kind of denial here!
An "i" ?!?!?
Ooooo.Kkkkkkk.

There is NO issue with spelling errors in Nokias DNS! They rather have some failure of their Akamai proxying, for reasons unknown.
Any misspelled name (that is any name other than the names of other maemo services) points to the repository home server, thus bypassing the dead proxies. Presumably, they set up a DNS catch-all for it while they still were serving immediately, which fortunately was not removed when they went the Akamai route, so that we can now (ab)use it to skip the poisoned caches which currently disturb or sometimes even block the way to the content behind the original url.
If you dislike repostory.maemo.org, you may as well use respiratory.maemo.org, recovery.maemo.org, happyxmas.maemo.org or whatever.maemo.org...

In any case, we do not know what repostory.maemo.org really is - it might be a plain DNS error, but it could also be the source server for the Akamai stuff, their internal staging host, or the original server temporarily taken down and renamed for repairs. In which case it would not improve matters if everybody starts hammering at it...
