Some of your Debian mirrors are down, try again later

[dc21930]

Have been trying to set this up for a few hours now. I don't know where should I edit to add any other mirrors from this list

root@myhost:~# rtinst
Debian GNU/Linux 8.9 (jessie)

Checking the web sites we will need are accessible

Yeah the file you need to edit is located at:
/etc/apt/sources.list

You need to edit as root so use sudo or login as root. You may need to edit several entries in the file.

Updating package lists
Upgrading packages
Installing required packages

It's stuck there and connection closes now

[arakasi72]

It can take a few minutest to install the packages, but if it is stalling, then run with --log to create a log file, and see what is happening.

There should be nothing there that would cause a loss of connection though.

this solved for Debian Jessie
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
put "/" on http://ftp.debian.org/debian
so http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
rerun rtinst

Remove it and try to reinstall it, so:

sudo apt-get remove --purge nginx-full
