185.x has been very unstable for me and others ; my machine keeps freezing.

so I put back 180.x in the release directory ; you'll have to follow
those instructions
http://www.avenard.org/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Entries/2009/6/10_How_to_downgrade_to_nVidia_drivers_180.xx.html

It's very simple. Same procedure as upgrading from 180.x to 185.x..

If you use testing, you'll find the same packages but build for 185.xx
