Try another mirror. There are hundreds of mirrors you can setup using,

Run

Code:

apt-setup

as root and you'll get a text-menu based setup for apt sources.

bash: apt-setup: command not found

Are you sure you're running as root.

apt-setup will work only as root.

Make sure you type the command

Code:

su

and then type the root password. Then try running apt-setup?

Or you can directly edit the sources.list file in the /etc/apt directory.
