    how do I remove bad apt sources?

    Hello Everone,

    I was wondering if there was a way to automaticly remove bad apt.sources from my list and replace it with a working mirror?
    I am asking becuse when I run apt-get update apt fails to connect to some mirriors. Or do I just have to do this manually? : I have installed both apt-spy & apt-setup

    Thanks very much

    I'd just edit the sources.list and stick a "#" in front of the line for any mirror that doesn't work.

    vi /etc/apt/sources.list

    I'd use mc (Midnight Commander) instead of vi editor

    I prefer nano, but removing the failed apt sources did the trick

    Thanks again
