    Unhappy cant download updates

    hello all;
    i am haveing trouble with updates, i constantly get failed to fetch errors and hash sum mis match errors.

    i have tried the sudo apt-get command and that does not work.

    i have also changed servers and that does not fix it either.

    i have now over two hundred updates waiting to be installed and i cant get them.


    if anyone knows the solution or where to find it please let me know.

    thanks george

    Execute this
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
    Post exact error here, if any. Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.lst file too.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get safe-upgrade

    I do not know if this will solve your problem but it can not hurt your system.
