Indeed the mirrors are not working because the Brazilian
mirror had a disk crash (the mirror is one of the computers
at the Physics Institute of USP and they've been having
problems with their power plant and now that it is solved,
with bureaucracy).
And it appears that it won't be usable any time soon. :-(

I've been using the US mirrors. Since http.us.debian.org is
not just one machine (half a dozen or so), if you have
problems downloading from the site (like slow connection),
just disconnect and try again. apt will probably use another
mirror.
That said, sometimes I've had better luck with the us.debian
sites than with br.debian when it was operational.
