Keep it on the list, please...  :-)

(Assuming Ubuntu, not Kubuntu or Xubuntu.)

1. Open System -> Administration -> Software Sources
2. Enter your password when prompted
3. Choose Download from -> Other -> Australia -> (your choice of the
other mirrors; don't pick Optus - it is the default server for Australia.)
4. Close the window.  It will probably ask you to update the repository
data then.  Select yes.
5. Try starting your upgrade again through System -> Administration ->
Update Manager.
