upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 failed

Asked by Brian

I am on Ubuntu 9 and I tried upgrade to Ubuntu 10 via update manager and also the terminal but both attempts failed.
From the terminal, I get this message "Done downloading
Done downloading

Could not download the upgrades

The upgrade is now aborted. Please check your Internet connection or
installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far are
kept.

My Internet connection is active and I can browse the web. Upgrading via Update Manager also failed due to the same error as stated above.
Please help, Thank you

Here is what I would try:

-clean what you have downloaded: type "sudo apt-get clean" in a terminal, with your password
-change your download server to another one to see if it can improve things. You can change it in System>Administration>Software sources I think.

I cleaned what I have downloaded and changed the server but the problem still prevails
