Could not connect to security.debian.org:80 on aptitude




I am getting an error from aptitude (and apt-get update):

http://security.debian.org stable/updates/man Packages {ERROR}
Could not connect to security.debian.org:80 (128.101.240.212), connection timed out

It repeats the error twice for main, contrib, and non-free .
It waits about 5 minutes at each try.

1. I've never seen this on my other debian computer
and so it's strange to see it here. Lots of things
different between the 2 computers.

2. Is there a way to make it give up waiting in a shorter amount of
time, say 1 minute instead of 5 minutes?

Thanks in advance,
J
