Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

I am trying to update my system an for 4-5 days I am getting error "could not reach servers to download update" (something like this. In my repository dialog, I got India servers selected for updates automatically. I think, I my auto selected servers are down or not reachable for some reason, Update manager should either ask me to select some other servers or switch to some other servers (may be Main servers) automatically. A layman user will not know how to change it manually or would not bother to do so. But if 4-5 days the servers are down or dead slow, he/she would defiantly get irritated with this like me.
