I don't have access to http://security.ubuntu.com.
In the Software Sources settings, I already selected a mirror for Base (trusty). But when I update, I see that it is still using http://security.ubuntu.com. It takes forever because it gets no data.
How can I fix this?
P.S. I am using Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon.

You can edit /etc/apt/sources.list manually.
Find any lines contains security.ubuntu.com and replace it with your mirror.
Note: it requires root privilege to edit that file

@beckosecurity.ubuntu.comisn't supposed to have mirrors. You're supposed to download from the primary site, so that you always get up-to-date updates.
