Do you have a proxy?
This is the cause I've found
You could also try to edit /etc/network/interfaces.
Comment out the two loopbacks - this will give you other problems but test apt-get with this
These two
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
This is because your computer is trying to download from itself....
Package Manager and mintUpdate not working.

Re: Package Manager and mintUpdate not working.
Yes I know I should have warned you - I think you can live without auto lo but not iface lo inet loopback
Don't know for sure though

Re: Package Manager and mintUpdate not working.
if you are behind a proxy you will have to setup
apt-get
synaptic
wget
to work with your proxy.
you will have to add something like
username:password@my.proxy.com/8080
into their config files.
I have not tested this yet.

Now where was i going? Oh yes, crazy!
Re: Package Manager and mintUpdate not working.
Not in the latest gnomes... the proxy settings tool in gnome sets http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables, which are read by synaptic, apt, mintUpdate..etc. In Hardy/Elyssa even Firefox uses it.
