It happens sometimes. Just try to fetch it again. If it won't work wait a little and try again.

And maybe you'd better wait until the final release? There is still no news about Hardy being released at http://www.ubuntu.com/

I cann't wait :)
Actually I've tried 3 times, but all failed.

It's still showing "coming soon"... Maybe I'd better to wait for several hours.

Choosing "Download from: Main server" in System => Administration => Software Sources might help. Or wait until Hardy final release appears at ubuntu.com

Max, Thanks for your help. I do not have Software Sources under System => Administration. :(
