could not download all the upgrades for version 9.10

[Lorenzo]

it just stopped downloading the upgrades at the end of the whole process, it only needed a few kilobytes to finish and the bloody things fucks up. What a good way to start trying ubuntu...

Hello
Can you please run in a terminal
sudo apt-get clean
and run again update manager
Thanks
Fabio

i run the command sudo apt-get clean in a terminal window and later
run the update manager again (as you suggested), just to realise that
all the previous downloaded files (about 99%) had been erased. I just
needed to be able to download 2Mb of data files, and now I have to
download the 700+Mb again.

Any other brilliant ideas?

And just like i thought, once i started dowloading the files the problem
appeared again, exactly like the time before.

I read on the net that the number of linux users i, at best, about 2
million people in the world, against 2 billion users of windows; it's not
wonder why.

Thanks
