Title:
  "Downloading Release" message after clicking Check is confusing

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  This text appears for a bit after checking for updates.  It means
  "downloading the apt release file", but most users will misinterpret
  it as something dramatic, possibly hitting cancel.

  I propose replacing this text (and other similar stuff that occurs
  when you click check) with a more straightforward "Checking for
  available updates."

  Affects Natty, earlier.
