Distribution
Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.6

The default mirror, main(xia), which is http://packages.linuxmint.com/, has been inaccessible for two days.
This significantly slows down installation time.

Realize fresh install of Linux mint cinnamon 22.1
Or update system with default software sources.

Research direction
The report concerns the default main(xia) source at packages.linuxmint.com, but it does not mention a repository file, test, or proposed code change. First verify whether the source is reachable from a fresh Linux Mint 22.1 installation and compare the default source configuration; done means default updates and installations work reliably.
