For GUI method

Under GNOME:
Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package
Manager->Settings->Repositories

Under Your Ubuntu 6.10 tab:
Go to "Download From"
Change to "Main Server" then close.

and just "Reload" to reset everything.

If you are running Ubuntu without X. It should look like this under
your/etc/apt/sources.listfor Ubuntu
6.10.
