W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cupsys/cupsys-common_1.3.7-1ubuntu3.1_all.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]
I am not able to install the cupsys update. Every time I launch the update manager the following message is displayed:
W: Failed to fetch http://
This is happening since last 1 month. It is very irritating seeing the updates available icon in the panel everyday and not being able to do anything.

I tried all the steps suggested in your reply.
The download of the file starts but gets stuck at 30%..... then again the connection terminates. This is really frustrating. All other updates are installed fine, even big ones which are more than 2Mb.
Think I have to get a faster and more stable internet connection. Currently connecting using USB modem over CDMA network very low speed 159 kbps.
This looks like another quirk of using Linux on a laptop designed for MS-Windows.
Please try to disable ipv6...
Howto disable ipv6
Please use this official method to disable ipv6 https:/
In short, open Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type
sudo sh -c 'echo blacklist ipv6 >> /etc/modprobe.
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
The above command appends a line to the local blacklist configuration. The file will be created if it does not exist.
To restart your computer, type:
sudo reboot
HTH
Can you help with this problem?
