Cool, I will probably try to install today or tomorrow so I will post my results when I'm done. Right now I really wish Microsoft would release the source code of FL so there would be a true linux port but...

Well, I have one last attempt. I read that fl works best with wine 1.0.1 (the version in the repos). I'm gonna reinstall in that and try again. I have a feeling that this should work because it seems that some mods can be used in wine (according to the AppDB) and also because I saw a post once by OP that said he wanted it to be usable in Linux.

So, about two weeks ago my windows vista died when I tried to install a new nvidia drivers (I have no idea why but it did) so I jumped ship to Ubuntu. Today I tried to install CF (in Wine 1.1.27) and it did not work. FL installs fine but for some odd reason CF just won't. Even FLMM works fine but I can't get freelancer to run after activating CF.
Anyone ever do this successfully before or have any tips?

The key to your problem is your antivirus. I run Vista and it took me forever to figure out what the true issue was. I uninstalled Norton 360 and am now using Avira Antivir (the free version). Using Avira you should have a much better connection.
Also, you will have errors now as the sever was recently upgraded and is not fully functional yet but more likely than not connection errors are not your fault.
