As for the first issue, are you sure that was jessie/updates and not jessie-updates? (References: generators/92updates in apt-setup, and https://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates) As for the second issue, what the backports site suggests as a generic URL doesn't mean one cannot use a specific mirror instead.
