Cannot connect to Archive.Ubuntu.Com

I believe this is relative to everyone trying to connect to the server at the same time. I too am getting this error, with en_CA. Wait a few days until everything cools down, and theres more available server space.

same issue when i try to install apps

jza873@CHAOS:~$ sudo apt-get install kaffeine-mozilla

0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.31)]

it just hangs at 0%. i was guessing it was a server load issue because everyone is upgrading and installing new apps.

It may be an issue related to the huge network traffic caused by the just released Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
I think a lot of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS or Ubuntu 7.10 pcs are trying to do network release upgrade.

Hope this helps

ok i just tried this and it works. downloads are working as normal now
when i run sudo apt-get update it freezes when it gets to us.archive.ubuntu.com.
so i did ctrl+c then ran
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
took about 3 mins
then just ran: sudo apt-get install kaffeine-mozilla
BAM just like normal
if that helps good if now sorry i tried

Thanks. I kinda figured that, I was only worried because no one else seemed
to have the same problem immediately. Thanks still :P.
