So I recently installed Ubuntu WSL1 in my company PC and ran this command to update my installation, It seems ping is successful but "apt-get" fails to connect and download. I need some help here to trouble shoot this


sudo apt-get update

I'm getting the following error:


Err:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease
Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:67c:1562::18). - connect (111: Connection refused)

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I tried to ping archive.ubuntu.com and it is showing me it's successful. but the apt-get update does not work ?

I believe I had the same problem a while ago.


I wasn't able to ascertain why this was happening, but the solution I was recommended was this:



  1. Make a backup of /etc/apt/sources.list



  2. inside that file, replace the string archive.ubuntu.com with si.archive.ubuntu.com (I use "si" to download from slovenian archive - find a mirror closest to you)



  3. Run apt-get update
