aptitude and apt-get update results in "Hash Sum mismatch"
Using Debian Jessie 32 bit and Wheezy 32 bit on 2 separate computers.
For the pass few days, received the following message on both computers when doing a
aptitude update or apt-get update results in the following error message:
Do you think that you have the problem because you're using 2 different mirrors & 1 is slower to update? In other words riken may not be at the same level of updates as debian.org & you're getting security updates from debian.org

Have tried more then 5 different mirrors, across the globe, even with the redirector. Same error.
Only problem is security does not have a mirror, so it stays the same throughout.
