thanks guys -
<fyi>
I also heard from telkom that the DSLAM had been giving problems, so my ADSL was off last night - ""i just couldn't sleep"" :P i broke all my settings trying to determine if the problem was on my side; eventually I gave up and decided to phone the murderous telkom helpdesk - after holding for 40 minutes (really) somone answered and told me the dslam in my area is down.

not sure how this related to some of the other issues that I experienced such as the repositories and accessing other local websites, but it has to be more than a coincidence.
</fyi>
