Thank you for filing this bug report and letting us know about the trouble you have been experiencing. Sorry that it has taken us so long to respond to your report. Unfortunately, we will need more information on the exact behavior you are experiencing so we can decide the best way to approach this issue. If you could please answer the following questions:

1. Does this bug still affect you? If not, then disregard the rest of the questions and simply let us know that it is resolved.

2. What does the Software Center do when it is unable to download a program? (Does it not download it at all? Does it download it but is unable to install the program?)

3. Do you get any kind of error message?

4. Have you tried installing the packages using Synaptic?

5. Could you please list the programs that you are unable to download/install?

Once you answer these questions, we'll have a fair better idea of how to approach your bug. Again, sorry for the delay in responding to this report.

It looks like the problem krias had is different from the one Aerion4 reported. Either way, though, we really can't do anything to fix it unless we know more about the problem -- in particular, answers to the questions that Draycen asked.

The code has changed a lot since this report, so it's quite likely this problem has been fixed anyway. If you still experience the problem, please reopen the report and provide answers to those questions. Thanks.
