Apt-get :: Apt fails to connect to ibiblio

I am using DSL 2.0, when I try to "Enable Apt" from the APPS-TOOLS menu it comes back with the following error:

Unable to connect to remote host 152.2.210.80 Connection Timed out
Connecting to www.ibiblio.org 152.2.210.80 conection Timed out.

If I open a terminal window and ping the IPs above I get positive response. So I know I have network connection. I can't however seem to get any pages to load in firefox..

Any suggestions??

Hmm...

I just tried it and it is working tonight.

Maybe ibiblio was having problems yesterday?

Try again and see if it works.

try to check your proxy settings
