I can't update for some reasons.. This is what I get each time:

W:Failed to fetch http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/dists/precise/steam/i18n/Translation-en  Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection [IP: 23.15.8.226 80]
E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I'd appreciate any help.

Open the Software Center and open the "Edit -> Software Sources..." menu:

Deselect all the lines containing steampowered.com and your next update should run just fine.

Note: their servers may be busy or down. you could try to re-enable them later.
