Title:
  Software Center autodetect of available servers fails

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  /usr/bin/software-center
  Ubuntu Software Center
  Version 10.10 (by the way, I tried running the lsb_release-rd in terminal as specified below, and all I got was command not found)

  Going to Edit >Software Sources> Download from> Other, click on Select Best Server.
  It starts merrily pinging 362 servers, at  about 354, it switches to a total of 356, then I get an error message that 
  No Suitable Download Server found
  Please check your internet connection.

  I have tried this twice, both wireless and wired. Rebooted in between.
  My connection according to speakeasy is .74 Mb/s down/.13 Mb/s up (I
  am on DSL). Connection was fine for downloading 20+ MB of updates.

  I am a newbie to Linux, so if I have neglected to include information
  necessary for the troubleshooting, please let me know.

  Many thanks,
  S Newman
