[papaboombox]

To the people who dont know wtf is up, on the main home page of cydia, it clearly states "Note: ZodTTD's repository is getting a large amount of traffic right now which is whats causes the POSIX connection times out refresh error".

Actually that was just posted recently, as of the first posts concerning this issue, mine included, it wasnt there earlier today. But thanks for your useful post.

My main Cydia page says noting about the "Note: ZodTTD's repository is getting a large amount of traffic right now which is whats causes the POSIX connection times out refresh error". I get the POSIX: errors all the time, anyone help?

I get this message all the time too, looks like no one has any idea how to solve this... How dissappointing!

While I have not had that error, i do not have any updated cydia homepage warning of this error either. the homepage still warns of updating to 4.0.2....

I also kept getting that error message error POSIX timed out or whatever, I couldn't read it all. But from what everyone has said, I understand it is a problem with the repositories. So, what I did was begin removing repositories one at a time until I quit getting that damn message. It worked for me, no more error message, and I figure if I find I want a package, I can always install the repository that it is contained in to get it. I wouldn't have figured it out without reading the earlier post, so thank you guys, Have a good one, Zerotee.

Had this errOr for the SAM prefs actual app. Would not connect over wifi. Read this post that someone turned off wifi and it worked. I did the same and sure as s___ it worked like a charm. Now to try and install those apps. Wassup with that?
