I run it often and everytime many listings in the
Package Information box are marked "failed". And the
warnings always appear whenever I start synaptic or
use the command line. Has it something to do with my
bandwidth(tiny). Or how about my sources.list:

booyah at ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
