"When will it be back up?"

From what I understand, it's back up, but there's now a biq queue of people trying to get it.

Use a mirror if you can't wait: https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20250317.git1d4c88ee-0ubuntu1.6_amd64.deb

Then you can install manually with sudo dpkg -i or move it to /var/cache/apt/archives and upgrade normally.

Ok then because after I read it was supposedly back up I was still getting the same error, I’ll wait a few days and try again.

Yes I am still experiencing the problem, at least as of yesterday, I will check again today(I’ll be installing kububtu on a laptop) and see if it’s still going on, I will note the following, it will come up with 3 ignoring messages, attempt to download and stop give 2 more ignore messages try again and stop and give the error, when it tries it announces downloading at 44kbps, then a few seconds later stops and errors out.

Going off of someone else’s post I tried to upgrade the firmware and it is working, so I can confirm the issue has been resolved, thanks for the assistance and the work around thankfully as it turns out the work around was not needed in the end. Thanks again.
