Proposed fix for issue 330115

[sujith h]

Hi Harish,

One more hack you can do is by following the thread :
http://askubuntu.com/questions/37753/how-can-i-get-apt-to-use-a-mirror-close-to-me-or-choose-a-faster-mirror.
So what I want to convey you is try changing the mirror. And lets see how
that will help you. Note: Please take a backup of your orignal sources.list
file. Try this only if you are *not* having trouble with downloading the gz
files mentioned by Shantanu.
