Does this error appear during the installation? If so, it's possible that the ISO is corrupt; it happened to me a few times. You can check on another computer by using the md5sum command and comparing the output to the public hash.
If it happens in Ubuntu when trying to upgrade or install a package, what is the actual error?

Nah its not in the installation, everything is working.
It's when I try to do a aptitude install of a package it just says 0 bytes downloaded and I can clearly see the package in the pool. I'll post the message now

Try the following:
See if it gives errors again after that...
If so then change your sources list ... the last 6 lines should be:
Code:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo apt-get updateSee if it gives errors again after that...
If so then change your sources list ... the last 6 lines should be:
Code:
deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security main restricted
deb-src http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security main restricted
deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security universe
deb-src http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security universe
deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security multiverse
deb-src http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-security multiverseI tried all that and still getting the Ign HTTP error message

I found something similar on the Ubuntu Forums
Try this:
If that doesn't work, maybe try changing your mirror to the ubuntu.mirror.ac.za one...
Try this:
Add the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http:ipeline-Depth "0";
If that doesn't work, maybe try changing your mirror to the ubuntu.mirror.ac.za one...
