Update manager reports 'Downloaded 0B of nB' where n is increasing

[sjrsquared]

Binary package hint: update-manager

When I try to run the update-manager and 'Check' it displays a progress box that says
'Downloaded 0B of <n>B' where n gradually increases, but the zero never changes. I would expect the <n> number to increase, bu tbe matched by increases in teh zero, until both have same value ?

I don't understand what this box is telling me - is it configured the wrong way round, or is it telling me that it can identify what it needs to download, and not download it at all?

Thanks

I think this is solved now. I'm not experiencing this problem anymore.

I'm marking this as Fix Released because this is not happening anymore. If someone still
has the bug, change and update the information.
