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

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