change package managers download server

[yasharne]

Hi,
I can`t install packages using apt-get, it stuck at waiting for headers, then I get failed to fetch... . I tried another internet connection but problem still exists, I can open webpages with no problem, what is the problem? can I solve it by changing download server? How?
I`m using rasbian on RPi2
Thanks

You can hard code a mirror name in /etc/apt/sources.list

The Raspbian mirrors are listed here: http://raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors

Try editing sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

deb http://mirror.mythic-beasts.com/raspbian/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

Then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Assuming the failure was a transient error you should change it back now.
