Can't change repository mirror

Briefly describe your issue below:
I got this problem from beginning when i installed parrot, for some reason when i apt upgrade it starts downloading from mirrors that are close based on geolocation (they are really slow), i changed sources.list to http://ftp.antik.sk/debian but still the same problem occurs.

Here’s sources.list:

# Debian packages for stable
deb http://ftp.antik.sk/debian/ stable main contrib
# Uncomment the deb-src line if you want 'apt-get source'
# to work with most packages.
deb-src http://ftp.antik.sk/debian/ stable main contrib
# Security updates for stable
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib

parrot.list is unchanged.

As you can see it start’s downloading from HUngary and ITaly for some reason even if Italy is so far away from Slovakia…

Hello, The issue is that you should not have anything in /etc/apt/sources.list except

#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.5 _Parrot_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTAL$
# This system was installed using small removable media
# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
# For information about how to configure apt package sources,
# see the sources.list(5) manual.

All sources belong in the parrot.list.

Also NEVER run an update command like that that is bound to cause issues.
ONLY run

sudo apt update && apt full-upgrade -y

I never had errors with that command for 4 years of using it

Add parrot repo remove debian repo
Make your sources.list empty
And run
parrot-upgarde

I guess you can run it if it works for you but its very redundant
