im not sure if this will solve your particular problem but i had similar
errors while trying to connect to my apt-proxy server, and removing the
"http" from the above line in my /etc/apt/apt.conf solved the problem as
it was timing out looking for a non existant proxy, worth a shot anyway.

Acquire::::Proxy "false";
