hi!
iv been having trouble with my repositories. oh by the way, im using
ubuntu hoary. i was using the direct ubuntu archive as the source for
my repositories, however, they stopped working so someone suggested i
use an australian ftp mirror but id have to disable the ftp passive
transfer...? im soooo confused. I got it to work once but nothing now.
What repository source is working? All help is greatly appreciated
Oh yes, one more question - would it be advisable to upgrade to Breezy
and just start all over again?
Thank you again

I haven't had any problems with the main Ubuntu archive. It might have
been down temporarily, or your ISP might have had a routing problem.
You can use more than one mirror in your sources.list, it will only
cause updates to be a little slower. You can order a CD and upgrade to
Breezy, but if you can't connect to the repository you won't get
security updates.
