Reading Package Lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones 
used instead.

I am with Comcast btw, one of the largest ISPs in US.

Also, I found at least 6-7 packages so far that don't get installed. And 
Epiphany crashes on load after it got installed.
