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:
