    Re: ubuntu 8.10 Repository Problem

    the servers seem to be down if i'm not mistaken.

    those links can be pasted into your browsers address bar

    Not Found

    The requested URL /ubuntu/dists/intrepid/partner/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 was not found on this server.
    edit: i refreshed and some of my sources have failed
