I'm trying to download apps from fdroid, and it's saying that f droid is failing to connect. Any clue what could be the issue ?

I'm using the tor hidden service version. Let me try and see what happens.

Edit: Well, I was properly able to update the repository information, so it seems to be working.

Which client?

The f droid app.

Give Droid-ify a try. At times it seems that the servers are being hammered and so things are slower, but they seldom ever fail.

Neo Store is pretty good as well: https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store

Neo store casused my phone to hang while synchronizing repositories. Droidify didn't have this problem.

Fdroid uses repository mirrors. The mirror used might have had an outage. Try turning off all mirrors except the official one and retry.

@0_o7 @debianastro Just retrying 15 seconds later (pull-to-refresh in Latest tab) will use a different mirror, no need to mess with them 😉
