I'm living in Ireland and for the last 60 days, I haven't been able to update ubuntu. Using the main server whenever I tried to update with the update manager, it said 'No updates to install'. If I click 'Check', it says 'Updating Cache' and then nothing happens.

When I use 'sudo apt-get update', I get the following:

If I change the server to the best server, I get this message right after changing:

The same thing happens when I try to update and I get the same message when I change the server back to the main server.

You beauty! Been having all sorts of problems updating for a while, I checked my sources in settings on the update manager and it was set to United Kingdom servers, switched to Main and reloaded, updates have been working great since. Just in time to upgrade to 11.10 ;) Thanks Raja
