I cannot complete upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. Every time I try, it hangs during "Setting new software channels" while fetching file 31 of 42. I thought it might be because of heavy network traffice at work so I tried it again yesterday as it was Saturday and the network demand would be low. It hung up at the same point so I left the PC on overnight to see if it was just a very slow download but when I came back today, the Distribution Upgrade window han not changed. Every few minutes, the orange barbershop pole animation progress bar flashes a message that there is only 1 second to go, but nothing happens. Any suggestions.

System: Dell Pentium 4 3.2 GHz with 1 GB RAM and 40 GB free space on hard drive. Current OS, 9.04, Kernel Linux 2.6.28-16 generic, Gnome 2.26.1
