Hey there, im new to porteus and am trying to install some repositories. After running the command usm - u all, it downloads 5 files and then says 'There was a problem downloading the file:' with nothing listed after the colon. I have alread tried changing the repository mirror location to a mirror in Germany, and still no dice. It would be nice to have firefox at the very least.

The internet tab in the applications menu has no such application on there?

Please provide the complete error message. We would be happy to give you full access to usm. Are you working with porteus v.4 or v.5?
