Problems with Karmic Medibuntu Repos

[MoonRise]

Subject says it all. The medibuntu repos for my Karmic systems hang every time it gets to fetching from there. Anybody else?

Ya, the medibuntu servers are down and won't be back up until Wednesday afternoon. They upgraded their Lighttcp server on the 17th and haven't been up since.

To run your updates without hanging on the Medibuntu repository temporarily rename your /etc/apt/sources.d file to something like /etc/apt/baksources.d. When Medibuntu server is again available simply rename it back to its original name.

I upgrades via Synaptic. I opened the repositories dialog and unchecked the medibuntnu repository, reloaded, marked all updates and clicked apply. When the medibuntu repositories come back on line I will recheck them, reload, mark all upgrades and click apply.

As of right now, packages.medibuntu.org is responding to ping requests, which it has not done for the last several days. So I suppose it is either fixed, or will be soon.

Edit: confirmed, it's alive, at least for lucid.
