[indiana-discuss] blatwave and sunfreeware IPS repositories broken?

[Steven M. Christensen]

http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/

appears to be working as far as I can see.  Others have tried it today 
and it is working for them.  I am happy to update the server to 
something newer if needed.  Point me to the best things to install and I 
will do that.
