Whenever I try to install any package, I get the error "Unable to Download Packages", "Check your Internet connection". But the strange part is that I can use synaptic to download and install the same packages.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Have you checked which server you are downloading from ? Try switching to main, i just recently had the same problem with the canadian server.
