    Failure to fetch kali apt repo. File has unexpected size. Mirror sync in progress?

    Can't update apt. Anyone know if there is an issue with the mirror? Or is a local issue? I tried combinations of apt clean and changing sources to HTTPS versions with no luck.

    /etc/apt/sources.list:
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib



    Error output....
