I keep reading the many similar problems, but the solutions and recommendations are not successful for me. I thought maybe it was a network problem, but no port is blocked. I finally took of all firewall and still a problem. I have changed sources from US servers, Main Server, and even let Update Manage look for a best server. Still have problem.
Here is what I get:

Had to take rest off because hassle to go in and disable links since as new user I am only allowed two links. Hard to give results with that restriction!
Essentially was continual similar response of:
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/transmission/transmission-common_2.51-0ubuntu1.1_all.deb Unable to connect to security.ubuntu.com:http: [IP: 91.189.92.184 80]
Please provide some guidance. I have been using ubuntu since 2007 and never had a problem upgrading or installing new releases. This has been three days working on this. Thanks in advance...
