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

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

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

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

proxmox:~# wget ftp://pve.proxmox.com/

...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.
