Is this a permanent or intermittent problem?

What do you see in a browser if you browse to
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu on the failing machine.  Have you got
multiple machines at your site?  If so are you seeing that on all of
them?

What do you see if you ping archive.ubuntu.com?

Where in the world are you?  There may be a better mirror you could use.
