No problem. I know you've been very patient with the frustrations you have, if 
you'll just bear with us I'm sure we can sort it out.

OK. So it ought to have the approprate file in the mirror. What version of 
bitbake are you using? Also, could you run the following:

bitbake -e matchbox-native | grep ^PREMIRRORS

That's one way of fixing it, yes.

BTW I would suggest if you are starting a new project and you expect to keep 
it around for a while you should consider using something based on top of 
OpenEmbedded-Core, such as the Yocto Project or a newer version of Angstrom. 
That way issues like these (broken downloads) get taken care of, since OE-core 
is maintained.

Cheers,
Paul
