I have put a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, and when I go to system update and click the check button, this error message comes up:

Could not download all repository indexes:

Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

What do I do??:confused:

What about using the terminal for update, does it display the same error?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Try changing your download location. System> Administration> Software Sources> Download from.

I changed my software sources from the New Zealand ones to the main ones which has stopped this error occurring. Thank you!
