Could not download all repository indexes
I see that there are a few topics on this already, but people were asking for specific info, and I am SO new to this that it was way over my head.
I just switched over to Linux Ubuntu from Windows a few days ago, so my knowledge of this OS is slim to none.
When I go to the Add/Remove applications menu and select an app. to download, I get this error message:
Could not download all repository indexes
The repository might be no longer 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 the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences.

I recommend that you get a more recent version of Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10

Feisty Fawn is getting quite old now already! We are looking towards 9.04 coming out soon.
Good luck and regards from

Normal, because this Repos are NOT the oficial Repos, so it can be OffLine, Down, Closed, etc.
I think this URLs are from a Educational domain, like a University or something...
Feisty Fawn's Repos Still Working Perfectly, 6 series to 9 series work.
Comment them out, and all is fine or if you have a Backup copy of the original " sources.list " try it

Hi,
if you've got nothing to lose, concerning the few days, download and install an up_to_date version of Ubuntu, Feisty 7.04 ist out_of_date

and you wouldn't need to mess now with your sources list.
Depending on your skills, the choice is either Long_Term_Support fairly stable and supported until 2011 or the very last official release Intrepid 8.10
http://
and will be upgraded by upcoming Jaunty 9.04
http://
However, in the LTS Version it is possible to switch configuration for upgrading to next upcoming version, instead next LTS Version. ##System -> Software Sources -> Updates
To experience the adventure Ubuntu please consult a few news for you

Please using the menu System → Administration → Software Sources
into [ Ubuntu software ] tab select a different server from the "Download from:" listbox
confirm reload of repository index and retry.
Hope this help
