Whenever I try to update my system, it always tells me that it can't connect to the Wine servers. What's going on?

Happens sometimes, give it time and try again.

I have been trying all day due to a fresh ubuntu install and cannot get to any download area for Wine. Hope it comes back up soon I am missing my D2 and Guild Wars!!

I actually havn't been able to connect to it for the last two days or so... :/ I ended up just downloading the source code and then compiling it myself instead of adding the repos.

Just download the source here (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.1.28.tar.bz2) from source forge, un-tar the package. Get the dependencies needed by running sudo apt-get build-dep wine in terminal, then build wine by running ./configure
make
sudo make install

Let me know if it gives you any issues :)

Thank you Jeff,

Ran into this upon the end of ./configure

configure: libgsm development files not found, gsm 06.10 codec won't be supported.

As I am not familiar with that particular codec, perhaps someone could shed some light?

Thank you,

I also have no idea what it does or what it is for... Installing the libgsm1-dev package doesn't fix it, but it seems wine will compile just fine without it.

And, as almost all kernel help comment states: if you don't know what it is, you don't need it :P)

Had no compile errors as well, seemed to go fine, and I believe your comment on kernel help is so very true :lolflag:
