It is entirely possible that an individual repository might be off-line, overloaded, or experiencing connectivity or hardware problems.
Not everything on the internet works all the time. Stuff happens.
My hosting provider, who has been very reliable for the five years I've used it, guarantees only 99 per cent uptime. I have also noticed with my Mint box that one of the Ubuntu repos I can't say which one I just wait it out does tend to load more slowly than the others.
Give it a couple of hours or overnight to clear up.
frankbell: I thought my provider was throttling my connection so I did a speedtest. The connection is still what I'm paying for, so I will just let it run its course as suggested. Thanks for the tip.
Emerson: I went ahead and setup IPv6 to 'ignore' in the wired connection, but even after that, the command output still shows an IPv6 address. Disabling IPv6 is one of the first things I did in Windows past. It slipped my mind when I converted full time to Linux.
Yep, mirror issue. I remembered back during install that it didn't ask for which mirrors to use, so it went with defaults. I switched it to a repo mirror local to my state and it's fast again.
