Since a week ago tried to install Jerboa, Voyager and Unciv; all failed. Using f-droid 1.18.0.

Installing Voyager or Jerboa from playstore works fine.

Is it muy phone or there is an issue in “i do not know”?

Thanks.

    Seems like the ftp.agdsn.de mirror might be currently down or unreachable for you.

    If you go into Settings -> Repositories -> F-Droid, there’s a list of mirrors, where you can turn the ftp.agdsn.de mirror off.

        It seems to be hosted by these people: https://agdsn.de/sipa/news/?locale=en

        Basically, it’s a non-profit club by university students from Dresden, Germany, which provide all kinds of IT services for other students, but also happen to use their server capacity to mirror the F-Droid repo.

        I don’t think that website contains any information about the mirror itself, aside from the generic page that any F-Droid repo provides: https://ftp.agdsn.de/fdroid/repo/

        But well, there’s not really much to say about a mirror repo anyways. It just mirrors the contents of the official F-Droid repo, so it contains exactly the same apps. It exists to help reduce the load on the official F-Droid server. Via checksums, it can also be ensured that the mirror server offers the correct files for download, so you don’t even have to trust it.

        Normally, if a mirror goes down or is unreachable, your F-Droid client should just select another mirror and download from there. I don’t know why that didn’t work here…

          I am confused, these are now the repos in my config settings. So, if the first two (four?) are “official” the question stays: why failed?
