I think I have solved some of this and believe that it is several problems.
1. The gb.archive.ubuntu probably caused the update problems, for some reason I cannot connect to it. When I asked synaptic to pick the best server it picked another one which worked and now I can now update. Traffic or otherwise I do not know the reason for the unable to connect to the gb.archive thing ....traffic?
2. As for the xubuntu stuff, I have no real idea. Could it be connected?
