It's usually not recommended to put a mirror name directly into that file, specifically for this reason; individual mirrors sometimes are unavailable.
Instead, it's more common to use a country-wide name such as ftp.xx.debian.org (where xx is a country code). These hosts don't really exist, but are a series of redirects pointing to local hosting providers. Sometimes the list is out of date, and the redirect might take you to a host which is unavailable. You can either wait a bit and try again, and you might get redirected to a different host, or you can use the "new" system at https://deb.debian.org
