It might also be that one of the hops between your system and that server system are down. you can always do a traceroute to find out. http://kb.iu.edu/data/aihy.html doing that would tell you where the break in the chain is ;) No, route is fine. It's not a connection issue. It just looks like lack of access rights, maybe. However, the Maidenhead server seems to be located in the US according to the trace. So it wouldn`t change anything in terms of possible download speed hickups. As i`m from europe i thought it might be faster to download from this server. Anyway, this problem is not that important as there are other download sources / servers available :)
