I've installed Kubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5, and I'm still experiencing the
same difficulty in downloading anything from the repositories. It
hangs at about 27-30% when I try to fetch updates in Adept.
I've just tried using OpenDNS to see if that makes any difference, and
I'm afraid it doesn't make it any better. Now, if I try fetching
updates in Adept, it doesn't want to get started at all.
I did try apt-get update, figuring that it might show an error message
there that might give some clue as to what's the matter. Here's what
it said:

matthew@matthew-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for matthew:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource
temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the list directory
matthew@matthew-laptop:~$

I hope this helps.
