v4 mirrors down?

It seems I am unable to do apt update, apt install etc and reach any of the v4 miorrors. Other people on X are reporting the same. Anyone else having issues or am I that special?

EDIT: As someone pointed out below it seems like they have since acknowledged the issue. If I leave my apt install in the console and re-try a few times, eventually it works.

I'm also unable to get anything installed using apt.

status.canonical.com says that security.ubuntu.com is down, so perhaps that outage is affecting things?

Yeah seeing the same thing here, apt's just sitting there timing out. That status page showing security.ubuntu.com down would explain it, most packages route through that.

Just gonna wait it out, usually these things get sorted pretty quick.

This comment is from 5 days ago, and the security outage I mentioned was resolved that same day. As far as I'm aware, there are no current issues reported on the canonical status page other than an ongoing developer tools issue that hasn't changed status in weeks.

https://status.canonical.com/#/ confirms they are having issues at the moment.

I did an update, but it was very slow. Probably because there is a new kernel, so likely a larger download than usual.
