Title:
  distribution upgrade buggy(apparent hangs)

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

Bug description:
  Hi I again tried the distribution upgrade via adept_manager. (a couple
  weeks ago I tried the pre-release on my laptop it crashed after like 2
  minutes leaving my machine with no X11) Is it me or is this the
  buggiest release of ubuntu ever? This time, during the preparing the
  upgrade step that application appears to hang, showing no signs of
  life for long periods of time during the fetch files process. The
  progress bar is stuck no movement for periods of 5min at a time or
  longer. No signs of life. I probably would have thought less of this
  had it not happened on the first file fetch. Also I have probably one
  of the fastest connections available as I work in a research computing
  group at a university, we have all gig switches dedicated fiber, and
  no one is here but me on a saturday night at 6pm. When I see an app
  that is downloading with no progress bar motion it makes me think
  crash, deadlock etc.. and I cancel. After a couple of tries I noticed
  that it would apprently hang for 5 minutes or so then blindingly fast
  zip through a few more downloads and apparently hang again. I let it
  go all night, only to have some other issue about not able to verify
  some packages, my internet connection might be down,(but of course it
  wasn't) and they were like standard KDE apps so something was up there
  too. Sorry for the long rant here but my vote is for a later release
  of a more stable product.
