It is unclear which machine you are getting this error on. If it is your
ubuntu machine try 127.0.0.0:8080 as your machine may not know it is
called ubuntu as a network name. (127.0.0.0 is like saying connect to
yourself)

As soon as you get the error try [ctrl][alt][F12] to see the system
logs for more info about the error. If this doesn't work try 
$ tail -40 /var/log/syslog
or if su rights are needed (i'll get corrected if this doesn't work on
Ubuntu)
$ sudo tail -40 /var/log/syslog
(The tail command shows the last 40 lines of the log; really handy.)

I don't know what HTTrack is, so i can't help much more.

First impression is it is a local issue.
