Every time i use synaptic or Add/ Remove apps if i click on something i want to install or download it says i need to reload the list. i do that and and i try the same thing and it does the exact same thing. Whats going on? do i have to download pakages manually or what?

I just tried to install something and the Servers are jammed. Wait a while.

Just keep retrying, the servers are jammed up due to all the people trying to install stuff, if you keep trying you just might get a connection and be able to get your file (slowly). I had this problem trying to get nVidia drivers and dvdrip. Installing packages from servers other than the Ubuntu Archive will work fine, as those servers aren't lagging out.

Anyone know of any mirror repositories that you can use instead of the main ones that are lagging? If there's a mirror of the Ubuntu repository, I'd like to use it.
