I am following the instruction given on https://www.abelectronics.co.uk/kb/article/1/i2c--smbus-and-raspbian-linux
All was going well until I went to download the i2c tools source using wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/i2c-tools/i2c-tools_3.1.0.orig.tar.bz2
I get returned the timestamp followed by ERROR 404: Not Found
I can see the file if I put the ftp address into a browser on my windows pc.
I have checked several times that I have not entered the string wrongly.
Any ideas? I'm relatively new to this and don't know how to use alternative dload methods with the pi
Thanks

It is not a DNS issue. While making one of several attempts to download the file I omitted the underscore between /i2c-tools and 3.1.0... and it downloaded a file called i2c-tools! Is there an issue with the underscore symbol? Am I using the right symbol (shift - [minus]) between zero and equals keys?
Thanks

I have updated the tutorial for installing I2C to make the python 3 part simpler. You no longer have to download the python 3 version of smbus separately as it is now included in the apt-get repository so you can use sudo apt-get install python3-smbus instead. This wasn't available when we last updated the tutorial but I have just tried going through each step on a new install of Raspbian Jessie and it appears to be working ok.
