[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 10.04 - failing to retrieve packages from server when installing/updating software

[David King]

When trying to update or add software to my Ubuntu 10.04 (AMD64) 
installation (which is installed within Virtual Box), I am getting error 
messages stating that some files could not be retrieved from the server.

Are any Ubuntu 10.04 servers down? Or is there a setting that needs to 
be changed or a repository that might be missing?

This has only happened today, and not before. Firstly when doing an 
update via Update Manager. One of the programs was Firefox 3.6.6, 
although my Ubuntu 9.04 was able to download and update Firefox 
yesterday okay.

And when trying to add some new software, I get the same error.
