iPhone repo666.ultrasn0w.com can't find file

A friend of mine was trying to unlock his iPhone with iOS. He was not able to add the repository repo666.ultrasn0w.com and thus can not unlock his iPhone. We tried everything including reinstalling (through ssh) Cydia which got rid of the error cached failure. Cydia will keep working and finally say can not find repository after Veryfying URL.
