Upgrade to Hardy

[durdensbuddy]

Here's the problem I'm having. I'm trying to upgrade from gutsy to hardy through the update manager, but every other time i go in it disconnects me at the second step "setting new software channels" (the 1st, 3rd, etc times it has come up with an error stating I could not connect to the release notes).

I am able to connect to the net through firefox, amsn, deluge, but getting connection errors during the update process. Any ideas?

Here's the error I get:

I used it and it worked perfectly.

Post your results back here.

the ubuntu repo's are swamped, so it cant get to the updates
you can either, wait a day or 2 for them to get back to speed
or download the hardy alternate cd and use that to upgrade

(you cant do a cd upgrade with the desktop/live cd)
