 at last it displays an error in new window as :

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

my internet connection is okay.
i have tried various servers (including main) server and servers from many countries.

Jaunty support is dead and the repos have been disabled completely. Hence the errors. I suggest you either upgrade to at least Lucid (Via Karmic, this is very slow) or do a clean install of Natty of even Oneiric (in Beta now) which will give a smoother OS as there is no old configs to mess stuff up as well as being a LOT quicker.

isn't any another substitution despite of changing OS.

Its the same OS, just a later release. Jaunty is EOL (End of life) and so there are no more updates or official packages for it

Can you help with this problem?
