Hi!
I'm on Zorin 16.3 and have an issue with some downloads from the software store seemlingly just standing still at 0%. I am on a slow connection but I am able to install some apps.
Example: Xonotic game downloads just fine, starts ticking up as soon as I click install. Other software such as Bottles or Freedesk Platform (which reports having an update available) just stands still at 0%.
Any help is appreciated! 
If Software Updater is set pointing to a regional server, set it to "Main Server".
It already seems to be set to main server.
Is this happening on different occassions at different times of day?
If it is a one-off, just wait and try later. It may just be a server side or internet issue.
You could try one of the solutions in this link:
I think it's always like this.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
How "slow" is your connection? The game is 1,2 GB big, that might take very long with the possibility of download problems.
Be aware you can also run Xonotic without installing: Download Xonotic 0.8.6 - Xonotic
Did your try to download the flatpak or the snap version?
Bottles seems to be Flatpak, too. What about Freedesk Platform?
Just as this message says, you have duplicate sources.
In terminal, you can run
sudo apt update
and double check for other errors.
If you elevate to root
sudo -i
Launch file manager
nautilus
Navigate to "Other locations" in the left pane. Then "computer" in the right pane. Now, click etc to open it. Then apt. Right click on sources.list and select to open with Text Editor.
In the text editor, display Line Numbers.
Scroll down to line #57 and check if it is for Wine.
One of the solutions to 1 and 2 seemed to do the trick!
That's the thing, Xonotic started downloading instantly and was done in about 15-20 minutes where as some other, smaller downloads were never get past 0%.
Speed differs during the day due to a 4G connection, right now I'm getting 10 Mbps down and 15 up.
Line #57 seems to be for Wine. deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main

You can remove
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main
# deb-src https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main
and keep the source you have saved in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as the only Wine Source.
Be sure to save the sources.list after making changes.
In /etc/apt/sources.list.d I have a file called winehq-focal.sources with the following:
Types: deb
URIs: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu
Suites: focal
Components: main
Architectures: amd64 i386
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key
That URI is the same as in the sources.list file. Do I understand correct that I shouldn't replace anything in sources.list, just remove those lines?
How did you download it? Directly?
If otherwise: snap or flatpak?
Correct. Those lines are a Duplicate. Possibly from making more than one attempt to install Wine by adding the repository. Just remove the duplicate lines exactly as I quoted them above.
Once they are removed and the file saved, running sudo apt update in terminal will refresh all your sources.
So you would need to re-launch Gnome Software Store after doing the above.
Flatpack from the software store.
I also have a sources.list.save file with those same two lines. Is this something I need to do anything about?
No, those can safely be left as they are.
I presume that running
flatpak refresh
in terminal helped with this issue? I notice you have marked this thread as solved.
Yes @Turtle11 sent a thread with a solution that worked and enabled me to download bottles. I did not run flatpack refresh, but instead tried the first three commands from that thread.
You seem to have solved the other issue with Unable to get list of updates.
