[Voyage-linux] apt-get update timeout!

[Sean]

I had trouble with that server as well. So I use the US repositories.
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main
But then again, I am in the US, so it makes more sense for me.

Try a different mirror. http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
Put them in your /etc/apt/sources.list
