Ubuntu Upgrade to 7.10 Strike 2

As I write this, I have attempted roughly 10 "upgrades" via the Update Manager with the same result each time as displayed below.


Obviously this is producing some anxiety on my behalf, as I am anxious to upgrade. That said, I fear that the upgrade process, much like previous upgrade processes from the Ubuntu folks, is a complete joke.

In preparation for the joke to be a fact, I kicked off the download and noted again that the servers are getting hammered... bitTorrent anyone?


Cheers,
