I'm running Ubuntu 12.10.
I want to use the Update Manager to find and install updates -- namely to 13.04. Following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaringUpgrades#Ubuntu_Desktops_12.10_to_13.04_.28R ecommended.29

But! When I run
update-manager -d it fails to download repository information, telling me to "check your internet connection."

12,10 and 13.04 support ended months ago.
You need to move to 14.04.

Best to know when support ends and move to the supported release of your choice BEFORE that time.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases - It sounds like you need to only run LTS releases, like me.

You are in the land of End of Life upgrades. The repositories of 12.10 and 13.04 are closed as are the repositories of 13.10. A new install of 14.04 would be best but if you want some fun or perhaps frustration then this link will tell you how.

I'm trying to update to 14.04 guys! But it won't let me update incrementally!

Possible backup all your data and try a fresh install of 14.04
