apt-get update - Need some help

[icc]

I am new to this environment and I am looking for some help...

I get the following when I run "apt-get update":

can you retry? maybe a temp. issue. but anyway, there are no new packages on Proxmox VE. I expect new versions within one week or two.

Have retried several times with the same result...Is this worth pursuing before the next update?

Maybe your firewall does not allow ftp connections?

[icc]

FTP is not an issue with our Firewall...

 

[dietmar]

So why can't cou connect to ftp://pve.proxmox.com/

Try manually with cli ftp client or wget.

1st tried wget - then apt-get update...results below

...looks like ftp connection is established, but will not authenticate the anonymous login...ideas?

1K/s... it kind of looks like you have an awful unusable connection to pve.proxmox.com. Perhaps you could traceroute and ping it and see what your route to the site looks like.

ftp://pve.proxmox.com is perfectly fine and responsive to me from the US and I can fetch all that stuff you're failing to fetch.
