Using Lucid, just trying to grab the latest updates using Update Manager and get this:

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Also just trying to grab wakeonlan or etherwake using Synaptic throws up a "Warning -
You are about to install software that can't be authenticated! ... etc..."

Can I take it this is just due to the servers being overloaded currently thanks to the 11.10 release?

Fine if so, I'll not bother troubleshooting any further and get them later, just want to make sure I've not managed to break my own machine

Answered my own question really - those urls aren't responding from another machine here nor from a VPS the other side of the Atlantic.

I'll just wait a while for the download frenzy to reduce
