For such cases, check Software Sources, try switching mirrors. If they are in Spain, they are likely suffering from widespread CDN blockings, or so I hear.

use the oldest driver that Driver Manager offers. I think it's 470
That's a Turing chip, should still be fully supported.

Whatever works for you. Some people have reported issues with 570, but for others it works fine.

thank you

do i still need to keep secure boot disabled

do i still need to keep secure boot disabled
Yes. The thing is, Secure Boot can only boot a signed kernel. You can only enroll a kernel for signing with MOK Manager when it is open source, no binary blobs allowed. The nvidia proprietary driver is... a binary blob. So you either use Secure Boot and fall back to the shitty open source driver, or disable Secure Boot to use the nvidia one.
