I have tried following solutions:

apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
then tried updating again. But still no success.

Please provide me some solution.

Which mirror of the repo are you using?
This is auto selected based on your GeoIP.

Please suggest if any modifications has to be done based on above list.
thanks for the link. That contains most issues i am facing. will go through it tomorrow.

Ive justed both mirrors (http://mirror.hust.edu.cn & http://mirror.hust.edu.cn), and they are working okay for me.
Are you currently still facing the same issue?

The issue appears to be because of some firewall/IP issues. I am getting the pub IP dynamically, and only in some IPs the issue seems to occur.
As the upgrade process is so slow, it is taking too much time.

Thanks
