I have Ubuntu 13.10 installed as a dual boot system with Windows 7. Ubuntu loads normally, but when I try to update with Synaptic Package Manager, I get the following error message and the system stops there....

Failed to fetch http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy/InRelease  
Failed to fetch http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy-updates/InRelease

(and other links listed too!)

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

What is wrong please?

You should check your source file config : /etc/apt/sources.list

This website will also help you generate a sources.list : http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php

To better understand what can be the problem check your log files : /var/log/dpkg.log also /var/log/apt

This means that those mirrors are down for the moment (or permanently). You should replace them with good mirrors (ie. removing the mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ part will get you a good mirror) or replace them entirely with your own preferred mirror.
