ROS Indigo Installation errors

Hi, I’m new to ROS, therefore getting into trouble during installation. I have Ubuntu 14.04 running on my computer and I’m trying to install ROS Indigo. Setup of Source.List and Setup of Keys was successfully completed but the sudo apt-get update gives a lot of errors .

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please open System Settings > Software & Updates and select another server than your current one in the Download from: dropdown menu. Then try again and tell if the problem still occurs...

Is there any alternate way I can download ROS? this will be my 3rd day trying to download ROS.

Did you already try to run sudo apt-get clean and then run sudo apt-get update again? And maybe try to delete /var/lib/apt/lists/* ? Don't give up now, there will be bigger challenges in the future if you continue learning ros :-)

There is an alternative way by installing ros from source.. Believe me, you don't want it like that as for the beginning ;)

Yes I have already tried sudo apt-get clean /var/lib/apt/lists/* ,and almost everything I could find on google

PS: changing servers sometimes creates additional errors, sometimes removes additional errors but

always remains.

I'll try wiping my Ubuntu 14.04 clean/re-install and try everything again. If that doesn't work then I'll remove 14.04 and install 16.04

Well, I hope this will be a solution. I don't know how to continue because normally there should be no problems with a clean and fresh OS. Good luck though!
