I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I decided it was a good time to update to the latest version. However, if I run

sudo do-release-upgrade

The program starts downloading Wily Werewolf (15.10) packages. How can I force Ubuntu to download Xenial Xerus?

Before doing the sudo do-release-upgrade -d, make sure that your /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file ends in Prompt=lts. This will enable the upgrade tool to fetch the next LTS release (16.04) instead of just the next release (15.10).

You will be able to have your 14.04 LTS version identified ad upgradable to the 16.04 LTS version when the first 'Point Release' for 16.04.1 is available - currently scheduled for July 21, 2016. Announced release schedule

If your desire is to test your current hardware and software compatibility with Xenial you can make a live session of Xenial for testing. Make a persistent USB instance.
