Anyone know if it's possible to download apps (like Lockinfo, for example) on your computer from a different server, then SSH them into your phone? That would hugely ease the load on Cydia's servers. I need my Lockinfo!!! 
Got a tip for us?

Just Google .deb files.

That would require ssh first, which is a trick until cydia comes up again
I think you misunderstand. You can currently download and install OpenSSH just fine on Cydia. I believe it's hosted on the same server as the evasi0n jailbreak, which is rock solid. Give it a shot, you'll see what I mean.

After getting the .deb use trick #1. Your gonna need something like i-FunBox [for Mac + windows] were you can move around the folders via usb and not ssh.

Oh kool, wish there was more useful stuff on there, as it's about the only useful app there. I was trying to access it through the How-To SSH on the cydia menu, so a search got it and installed it, thanks!
Now just with I could get into MANAGE so I could get my old apps I paid for back.

All I needed was http://cydia.bitesms.com/ to hold me over for a couple days till the load clears up!
