Software Manager sometimes says “unable to download firmware updates” from a particular repository
When I open Ubuntu Software Manager on my machine, sometimes it returns this error:
Any idea about it?

The DNS system is telling you that it cannot find "cdn.fwupd.org". You could trynslookup cdn.fwupd.orgto see if pinging the histname causes the DNS servers to pick up the address for the site, and then opening updates.

What's the content of/etc/apt/sources.list? It's just a hunch, but I've seen a similar message when I accidentally made a nonsense edit to that file.

As you say "sometimes** it returns this error"
It may be intermittent fault in your ISP server or site server.
Run ping cdn.fwupd.org whenever you have the fault.This should be something like
ping cdn.fd.org
ping: cdn.fd.org: Name or service not known
otherwise
ping cdn.fwupd.org
PING p2.shared.global.fastly.net (151.101.194.49) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 151.101.194.49 (151.101.194.49): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=44.8 ms
64 bytes from 151.101.194.49 (151.101.194.49): icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=44.3 ms
If Software Manger shows error and ping is ok we can pssiblly try Software Manager server configuration as shown below.
Choosing some other server may be useful.
