I'm seeing the same thing at the moment. I think I know what's going on
here... the main (UIUC) updates site happens to be down right now for
whatever reason. (although it seems that I can ftp to it directly... hmm)
When you try to load updates and tell it to use the Squeak Public
Updates (North American) group of servers, it tries both the UIUC site
and the backup site. Early on during 3.6alpha we changed the backup
updates site from squeaklet.com (Michael Rueger's machine) to one at
squeakfoundation.com. It looks like Michael has probably finally taken
down squeaklet.com for his own use, which he was planning to do
eventually. So, in 3.5, both North American servers (UIUC and
squeaklet.com) are down, but in 3.6, the squeakfoundation server is
still up.
However, in 3.5, you can still choose to update with the European Squeak
Updates group, and that works.
I'm guessing UIUC should come back up soon...
