Could you provide some more detail about what you were trying to download?
Do other things you download work? Perhaps it was the remote server which was not working correctly?

Also, it seems you are running 7.04 which has an older version of firefox - if you upgrade to 7.10 and then 8.04 you will get firefox3 which fixes many bugs from firefox2.

You can upgrade from your 7.04 to 7.10 by following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades

After you have done that, you can upgrade 7.10 to 8.04 by following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades

The Skype you should download is http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu
Save this file, it should go to your desktop.

When it is there, double click on it and you should be able to install it.
