ubuntu 9.04 'update' servers aren't working 'properly'

[hansie]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The ubuntu 9.04 'update servers' aren't working properly!!
1. Today they completely 'hang' on 'updates'
2. They seemed to 'hang' on the 'open office' downloads
3. Using APT: They 'hang' on accessing the 'security' section; (normally this section is quite 'slow')
4. Over the past week, the 'update servers' have either been extremely 'fast'; or crawlingly 'slow'
