Problems connecting to mirror for manual install

Vance

I am trying a manual install of Retropie ontop of an existing Raspbian install. I am using a Pizero w. Everything works fine until I get to "sudo ./retropie_setup.sh"

It starts fine, but fails eventually. See the log below. I am located in Beijing. Is there a way to force the download from another mirror?

pi@raspberrypi:~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo ./retropie_setup.sh
Did not find needed package(s): dialog xmlstarlet python-pyudev. I am trying to install them now.

@vance Even trying those URLs in a browser returns errors. Did you run sudo apt-get update first? Maybe the mirrors have been changed for China.
If that doesn't work you can try commenting out the Chinese mirrors and adding alternatives from this list https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors to /etc/apt/sources.list
I'm not sure how that will work in China though so...
