Upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04?

[c clark]

Hello,
Having had dial up and experienced data loss usually when the download is almost complete.
I would say it is most likely "line noise" corrupting your download.(static on phone line that you cannot hear)
Data is lost here and there during the download when too much is lost your data is corrupted.
I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 with no problem, however I am using hi speed wireless from a tower. 

The updating problem is beyond my present understanding perhaps someone else can help you with that issue.
I hope this has helped.
Chris.
