Sources.list issue

[martincho90]

Hi

Any time I run apt-get update or try to install any program from apt-install seems to be it's trying to connect to the old server:
sudo apt-get update
0% [Conectando a 200.42.56.146 (200.42.56.146)]
The I got the error time out:
Err http://br.archive.ubuntu.com precise-updates/universe Translation-en
No se pudo conectar a 200.42.56.146:8080:

This is my sources.list:

I coud find that the 200.42.56.146 is coming from the apt.conf file:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://200.42.56.146:8080/";

Is there any way to remove or change that?
I just moved the file and uncommented the line but it's still trying to connect there.

Regards
Martin

If the configured proxy is unresponsive you could try telling apt to ignore it - I *think* the syntax is


sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::proxy=DIRECT update
