Unable to fetch sources on update

I am getting the following message when I update.  Does anyone know what is going on?  I havent been able to find a lot about online.

W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/http.debian.net_debian_dists_wheezy_non-free_binary-amd64_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Thanks!

Re: Unable to fetch sources on update

happens every now and then. Do a sudo apt-get update later (in a few hours) again. If the error persists, remove the file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/http.debian.net_debian_dists_wheezy_non-free_binary-amd64_Packages (thought this should not be needed)

^ That is often the case with that sort of problems. Sometimes retrying a couple minutes later solves it.

^When you run apt-get update you'll see it ends without error message or warning - this is a successful update then.

Re: Unable to fetch sources on update

I had the same problem, but was able to get updates after updating the repository keys.

$ sudo apt-key update
[sudo] password for drteeth:
