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

The above information is a crash info. It happens when I manually update Ubuntu. I have marked all checkboxes in settings that weren't marked by default.

What is the reason for this problem?

If you've checked the CD-ROM in the sources and do not have the CD in the drive, the error message correctly tells that it was unable to fetch packages from it.

It is usually unnecessary to check them after a working installation, so you can safely uncheck them.

(Alternatively you can insert the installation media into the drive and check if the error message goes away.)
