Hello! I’ve done some troubleshooting on this and i feel like I’m going crazy.

I have a pi 3 B that I got for cheap at a garage sale a while back. It was still in its original packaging - practically brand new. Got around to setting it up yesterday morning and installing raspbian. So far, all good. It boots into Raspbian without issue.

Once in, I connect to the internet and run “sudo apt-get update”. The mirrors all 404.

So to make sure I actually have internet, I ping google. No issues there; pings successful.

I try to navigate to raspbian.org on my phone. The website gives me a 502 bad gateway nginx error. So I assume the mirrors are down, but decide to check social media… And nobody is talking about it? Anywhere?

Is raspbian.org not a legitimate website? When I run the update, it seems like its trying to pull from mirrordirector.raspbian.org so I assume so.

So. My questions:

  • I’ve done a lot of googling on updating my mirrors, and have found relatively little. Does raspbian not have an automated mirrors updating tool?
  • Is raspbian.org not a legitimate website? If it is, why is nobody talking about it being down? Its been dearly 24 hours. It this regular maintenance?

EDIT:

Turns out the version of raspbian on the SD card this thing came with was so old it just couldn’t update lol. Still have no idea what’s going on with raspbian.org though lmao
