Hey all,

I consistently get the following message when updating slapt-get (as 
root slapt-get --update)

    quote:
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sources failed to download, correct sources and rerun --update
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------


I have uncommented the official slackware-current source, and 
additionally uncommented several other mirror sources in Europe (where I 
substituted the -10.0 to -current). Whichever mirror site I choose, I 
keep getting the above message. I have googled all around but it seems 
I'm the only one with this error. So I must be missing something pretty 
obvious.... but what??!

Simply reinstalling the slapt-get package didn't help. Neither did 
commenting the official slackware ftp site because it might be busy.

Anyone, please...

Cheers, Leon.
