apt-get network problems

I'm having a lot of trouble with the apt-get update process.

I keep getting errors trying to update the packages. Most of this seems to hang on ftp.us.debian.org.

Which I am begining to suspect is an alias for mirrors as I'm finding network IP traffic to different debian mirrors other than those I care to identify in my apt/source.list file.

Unfortunately they are having a lot of failures in closing out the synchronization. This is also showing up in my firewall rulesets with errors like:

Nov 13 14:18:32 cling kernel: MISSED:IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.0.5 DST=128.101.240.212 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=53069 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=45028 DPT=80 WINDOW=4501 RES=0x00 ACK PSH FIN URGP=0


Is anyone else experiencing problems with updating they debian package libraries?
