I have tried to update my Feisty but I guess due to everyone trying to download it I have been getting error with Update Manager having troubles connecting to certain sites. Can I download the CD and update from it and if so how do you do it? Thanks for the help.

Re: Can you update from CD?
I don't think you can "update" from the CD -- you can "install" from the CD. Is your data on a separate "/home" partition, or is it all on the same partition with the rest of Kubuntu? -

On the same partition. SO I am going to lose all of my stuff then? WOW I hate this updater it just cant connect.Comment

Hopefully you won't lose important data -- no need to update before you've got a good backup.
The updater worked OK for me, but it appears that other folks have had trouble with it. I personally have more confidence in a clean new installation that in the updater, anyway. :PComment

Re: Can you update from CD?
As a matter of data security I have always (7years) had a separate data partition and a separate home partition. OS's of any color crash, even Linux (especially when you play with it too much
)
This also makes installing new versions easy
As for updating/grading from the alternate cd I think this is possible from the alternate cd:
