I have been experiencing problems with downloading the latest version Ubuntu 11 in my current Ubuntu 10.10 operating system.
I used the Update Manager and tried innumerable times but to no avail. It shows that my Internet connection is somewhat faulty. I have no problems with my Internet ironically.
I grudge to download the Live CD into my hard drive and then to manually burn it into a CD because I don't have one available in my hands. Is there any way to download Ubuntu 11 and install it successfully?
I want to know that like windows there is Internet download manager for fast downloading is there is any software package available in ubuntu for fast downloading?

after doing: $ sudo apt-get update i get lots of hits then: Hit [URL] pdates/multiverse Sources 99% [Waiting for headers]... and it just sits there. a reload in synaptic gives: downloading file 44 of 45 ... and it just sits there.

I readded all my sources and ppa's on the upgrade but now they are disabled? Also I have a malformed line..Why would they be disabled if I changed them all one by one through software sources?

I cannot update package information in Synaptic Package Manager. In terminal window it shows inability to connect to 10.3.2.1:8080 (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid etc). If I point to this url in my browser I can access the files.

Sometimes, I also get this red triangle with an exclamation point in my toolbar thing that tells me I have repository problems, or something along those lines. I'm assuming they're all related. I've been looking around, and I noticed people having similar errors and just being able to uncheck something in my Software settings, or something like that. In my case, I'm not exactly sure what to uncheck though, don't wanna screw anything up any more! I'm using 10.10, and I believe I'm using Maverick. I'm not sure what that means though. I've only recently started using Linux.
Whenever i go to the update manager and check for updates i get this
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection. i am connected to the Internet and the connection is obviously fine because i am posting this, same thing happens when i go through terminal to i am currently running ubuntu 11.04
For some odd reason in wheezy it's not downloading the packages in the 'all' architecture, this leads to interesting issues when it comes to things like installing chromium and other packages that aren't built for one particular architecture. I've only noticed this in wheezy, and i'm not sure if this is normal. If there is any easy way to fix this, I'd be more than happy to hear.When i try to do an apt-get update, it only downloads from amd64 and not all. I've tried the mit mirror, and also the one shown there or well the default one but it still doesn't seem to be working right.

I am beginner in Ubuntu. I am unable to install any software. For example, whenever I try to use Ubuntu software center to install VLC media player, it shows following notice:
Failed to download repository information
Check your internet connection
I searched on google about installing software on Ubuntu and tried to use the command I found for installing VLC media player on terminal.
First I typed command sudo apt-get update
And I get this on my terminal ----- Ign [URL] lucid Release.gpg .....
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Then I typed the following command to install VLC :
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
Then I get the following information on terminal:
