[sbopkg-users] Problems in 0.30.1 and 0.31.0

[James&Helen]

Hi,  I'm piggybacking on this post to register a problem I'm having with 
sbopkg; the details are at the bottom of your post to RW.

I downloaded and installed 0.31.0 yesterday and tried to use it to 
download a package.
The following text is a copy from a terminal of my attempt to build 
something. I had virtually the same problem with Open Office previously 
using 0.30.1. I finally downloaded OO directly from Slackbuild. I am 
using slack 13.0.
Can you help?

Building gtypist

gtypist:
--2009-11-02 21:46:22--  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gtypist/gtypist-2.8.3.tar.gz
           => `gtypist-2.8.3.tar.gz'
Resolving ftp.gnu.org... failed: Connection timed out.
wget: unable to resolve host address `ftp.gnu.org'

gtypist:
Would you like to continue processing the rest of the
build queue or would you like to abort?  If this failed
package is a dependency of another package in the queue
then it may not make sense to continue.

Press (Y)es to continue, (N)o to abort, (R)etry to try
to build the package again.

Kind Regards,
