I am trying to update my computer using the update manager. However, when it tries to download packages, it stops at one package and produces the following error.

W: Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg Could not connect to packages.freecontrib.org:80 (34.52.53.34), connection timed out

How can I fix this? Thanks for all help in advance.
