Sometimes your download mirror might be down when updating Ubuntu, to fix this, you can simply change to another mirror.
Changing downloads mirrors can be done by editing the sources.list. Mirrors are often represented by a two-letter country code, so we can easily try other URLs if our sources stop responding.
To change download URLs for your distribution, edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Inside this file, you may find your sources, which might look like this:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan main restricted
Now, simply swap the us part with whatever country mirror you want to try. The main server does not have a prefix at all: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
