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.
I had the same issue. It started after I switched from a wireless card to a standard ethernet connection. After I switched to ethernet, my internet browser (Chrome) and E-mail (Thunderbird) worked fine, but I was getting the same software update issues.
If you look in the upper right hand edge of the screen, there is a up-arrow/down-arrow symbol near the blutooth and speaker volume symbols. This is the network manager.
It you right-click on it with a mouse you should see a list of your wired and wireless connections. After I switched, Network Manager had a message at the top that said something to the effect of "Ethernet connection wired device not managed".
I found the article: network manager says "device not managed"
But to summarize, I used the following Command Line commands to make it work:
To do this - in a terminal:
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Change the line
managed=false
to
managed=true
Save (CTRLX, then Y and enter)
Stop and start network manager:
sudo service network-manager restart
And it should work (it worked for me).
