apt-get: Waiting for headers


I just tried to install CVS on a Debian system using apt-get like follows: apt-get install cvs During installation I got the message "Waiting for headers 0%", halting the process. It turned out that there was a problem with the Debian mirror. I had to edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list, which had this content:
deb http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/Debian/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/Debian/debian/ etch main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
After disabling the first two lines with "#" all worked fine. Afterwards I've added a more reliable mirror. Here you can find the list of Debian mirrors that you could configure in that file if you have similar problems.
