Hoary universe package updating problem

[Edgars Jēkabsons]

Apt-get/Synaptic can't update Hoary universe packages properly.

This problem has been bugging me for several days. The last time it
updated ok, it was before Hoary release, so I think I could be missing
some updates.

$ sudo apt-get update 
outputs this:

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

When I download Packages,gz by hand, it opens properly by Archive
Manager and the Packages text file is good.

Any suggestions?
