The server may well be overloaded. It defaults to looking at one specific server. This too is changeable if you wish. If you do a "buildkernel --help" you will end up with a list of the possible options. Among the options, set by a commandline switch, is the server from which you get your kernel. You could try changing it to another kernel mirror. I have, sometimes, also run into a problem if I do not indicate a specific kernel (don't know why, it should default to downloading the latest stable), In such a case, it will connect but then report that it couldn't find a kernel, or some such. Getting around that is simple: the latest stable kernel, still, is 2.2.17. All you need to do is add the switch --BKKERNELTOBUILD=2.2.17 and it will then download the proper kernel. good luck.
