What is an acceptable download rate, while running Update Manager? I see rates varying from 60kbps to 170kbps. The slower ones fail with the dreaded CHECKSUM ERROR.

The speed of your internet connection is critical here...

To speed up your updates you can do this:

Run Update manager, in the left bottom corner, click [settings...], select the tab "Ubuntu Software", from the drop down "Download from:" select "Other..." then click "Select Best server".

This test will get you the best performing updates server from the world wide list.
