hello there, thank you very much for responding, I have the Security edition, and I live in California, so I used the berkely mirror, and I still kept getting errors, it seems like this is solely server problem with the list file like you mentioned.
This is what I am getting right now,::::
sudo apt-get update

Reading package lists… Done
W: Failed to fetch h ttps://deb.parrot.sh/parrot/dists/lts/InRelease Could not handshake: Error in the pull function. [IP: 192.95.37.236 443]
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
And., this is currently my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list::::::
I commented out the back-ports link because too many server errors, and Am i allowed to try different combinations of servers for different links>? can you please provide any good youtube video about it? I just keep getting errors even when i used the berkely server everywhere. So like do i just keep trying different servers that are even outside of United States?
This file provides the default APT repositories for Parrot Security
These repositories are used to fetch new software and system updates
###############################
Default Parrot Repository
###############################
The ‘parrot’ repository provides all the Parrot software considered
stable and tested.
the main suite provides the base system plus all the software released
under a free and open source license compatible with the Debian guidelines.
the contrib suite provides additional free software that depends on third
party software not provided by the main suite. it usually means that such
packages depend on non-free software.
the non-free suite provides additional packages that don’t comply with
the Debian Free Software Guidelines. They are mostly proprietary software.
deb htt ps://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/parrot/ parrot main contrib non-free
######################
Security Updates
######################
The ‘parrot-security’ repository provides time sensitive security updates
that have to be delivered to end users as fast as possible
this repo should always be enabled in your system
we strongly recommend to NOT use mirrors for this repo, but only
access security updates from our official domains or CDNs.
a mirror server could take too much time to fetch an important update,
leaving you without security updates for a timespan outside of our control
deb htt ps://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/parrot/ parrot-security main contrib non-free
###############
Backports
###############
The stable repository contains software that is considered stable the day of
the release. such packages receive only security and stability updates that
don’t introduce new features and don’t drop old ones.
the ‘backports’ repository provides feature updates to many packages, and
even external software that was originally excluded from the stable release.
disable it if you prefer stability and reliability over bleeding edge features
#deb htt ps://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/parrotos parrot-backports main contrib non-free
#######################
Updates / Testing
#######################
The ‘parrot-updates’ repository provides updates before they are made available
to ‘parrot’. this repo is mostly meant to be used by developers and beta testers
to extensively test updates before they are migrated to the main repository
we suggest not to enable it, as it may introduce untested bugs and make the
system unstable. updates are delivered as fast as possible (within a week)
so you are not missing anything important with this disabled (unless you are a dev)
#deb h ttp s://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot-updates main contrib non-free
##############################
Source Code Repositories
##############################
These repositories provide the debian source artifacts of the packages
in the corresponding repos in the form of dsc files and the corresponding
tarballs
you only need these repositories if you intend to download the source code
of a package and re-compile it yourself with debian-compliant build tools
#deb-src ht tps://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot main contrib non-free
#deb-src ht tps://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot-security main contrib non-free
#deb-src h ttps://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot-backports main contrib non-free
#deb-src http s://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot-updates main contrib non-free
##########################################################
How to configure mirror servers for faster downloads
##########################################################
The Parrot system is configured by default to use the central
parrot archive directors. The Parrot directors are special servers that
collect all the requests of the users and redirect them to the nearest
download server available for the user who made the request.
The Parrot Mirror Network is secured by centralized digital signatures
and the mirrors can’t inject fake updates. If an evil mirror tries to inject
a fake package, Parrot OS will automatically refuse to download and install it.
To configure a mirror, you have to replace the original URL with the URL
Provided by the mirror
Example:
If you live in Italy and you want to take advantage of the GARR mirror,
Replace
deb ht tps://deb.parrot.sh/parrot parrot main contrib non-free
With
deb htt ps://parrot.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/parrot parrot main contrib non-free
IMPORTANT NOTES:
do NOT use mirrors for the parrot-security repository. use them
exclusively for ‘parrot’, ‘parrot-backports’ and ‘parrot-updates’
