I'm living in China and am working on getting OSMC up and going. However, when trying to apt-get install anything, it keeps trying to use mirrors.zju.edu.cn, which is down.
I know I can edit sources.list, but what do I put? Is there a way to "exclude" certain mirror locations?
I found the list of mirrors for Raspbian and found one that was working. I edited my /etc/apt/sources.list file from:
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie main
to:
# deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/raspbian/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie main
That did the trick. I'm guessing that this probably isn't smart for long term solutions, but worked temporarily.
