Hey Alfred,

I don't have all the answers, but I have a few:

Back in the day, the 64-bit packages were called AMD64 because Intel 
also had a competing 64-bit architecture.  In the end AMD's architecture 
won, so now we just have i386 for 32-bit machines and x86_64 for 64-bit 
machines.

File -> uncheck offline mode?
