Install.app hangs while updating sources HELP!

[absolutecarla]

I tried to open installer this morning but for some reason it gets stuck on updating sources. I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out. I have excellent wifi connection. When It hangs, I have to press the home key a couple of times just so it would go back to the springboard. Can anyone tell me what to do

Just had the same experience.

But why freak out?

yeh you wait for it to complete the update, if it hangs for too long hold the lock/wake and home buttons till ipod turns off then simply turn ipod back on

Same problem

I have the same problem in the UK..

Either Apple have spiked Installer, or maybe it is hanging because some of the repositories are off-line.

All the apps seem to work and I can SFTP into my (modified) iPod.
I can see all the directories..

I could manually copy across Installer if I could be bothered but I suspect it is something at the Internet level blocking Installer..

ANY ONE ELSE have the same problems, or any idea??

Cheers.

All ok..

Well, I went away under my wife's 'WRAP CHRISTMAS PRESENTS OR DIE' program for 20 mins or so... and came back.

And all was working ok..

So - the key is to wait I think..

(Or maybe go pack Christmas Presents..................................)

repo.us.to is down. That's the one that was hanging up on me.

I thought one would be down.

Thanks for confirmation.
