apt-get not getting

[Stephen]

Since yestreday, any attempts to d/l or update using apt-get seens to hang at:

57% [Connecting to ftp2.de.debian.org (195.71.9.196)]
Err http://ftp2.de.debian.org stable/main Packages
  Could not connect to ftp2.de.debian.org:80 (195.71.9.196), connection timed out

]

I don't see any news on the debian sites about servers being down. Should I uncomment something in my apt.sources list?

TIA

Edit the file and change the ftp2.de.debian.org lines in the file to ftp.de.debian.org and it should work fine.
