Could not connect passive socket?

[John Lord <lordofchaos@ukonline.co.uk>]

Hi there,


The last couple of days I have not been able to d/l anything from the uk
server, I get the following:



The following extra packages will be installed:
  koffice-libs 
The following NEW packages will be installed:

0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
Need to get 1842kB of archives. After unpacking 7676kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I normally have no problems, and have not seen this error message before.

Hints please ;-)
