Update manager not working (Solved)

KGIII said:
I asked 'em to check UFW earlier, but no answer was forthcoming. It may have been lost in the shuffle as tons of people are trying to help.

I also tried to ping one of the addresses from their terminal output, and it was a no-go. So, something weird is going on. But, I agree with you - check the firewall(s).

I noticed that the Repo https://mega.nz/linux/repo/xUbuntu_20.04 ./ stops at the Get and does not proceed, I think that may be stopping the rest from connecting, that I why I suggested to remove it and see what happens or it maybe trying to reroute the rest of them to Mega hence the failures

you should be able to remove that repository through the Update Manager as @Brickwizard has stated
or you can edit the sources.list directly
Code: 
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
where nano is the text editor for Linux Mint it use to be Xed now I think it is Nano - then find the repo and delete it and save the file
Do you use Mega Cloud storage service?

It's definitely worth trying. At this point, we can only wait for OP to catch up. I imagine they're a bit overwhelmed by the number of replies.
 
Ok, I have now removed the Mega repo from the update manager & to be safe I disabled Mega in startups then I rebooted & ran sudo apt update & finally checked again, still exactly the same
 
This is a mystery indeed.

Can you run this and then try updating again:

Code: 
sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches

Whats curious to me is the fact that the https;// is connecting but the http:// is not - I still think it is some kind of DNS hickup
Disconnect from internet then run in terminal
Code: 
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
Reconnect and try to update

Could it be anything to do with DNS, I ahve set my router DNS at Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 The other starnge thing I have just noticed I can no longer access my routers admin page

Yep think that is most likely your issue is with that DNS on your router - You could try resetting your router back to defaults usually a reset button in the back generally hold it in for about 10 seconds and that will set it back to defaults - but that is your call - it's worth a shot
 
Ok I have just logged into my routers admin page using a different device, I changed the DNS to automatic but it's made no difference
 
It's fixed :D
The answer was so easy I could cry............I just rebooted the router, when it came back on I ran sudo apt update & everything updated like a dream.
I would like to thank everybody that offered their help with this, the Linux community truly are exceptionally helpful & patient.
I just need to reinstall Mega now. Thanks again.

Glad it is fixed - remember that the Cloudfare DNS you set is no longer there - I would leave it at the factory default
