There could be problems with some mirrors. That is something that is
controlled by several servers between you and them and not something you
or they can do about it. The only thing I can say is try different
mirrors, even ones that are not in your country can be faster than ones
that are.
As for your installation, if you can run aptitude at all, then it is
already working.
Without specifying which packages you're trying to install and what
you're planning on doing with the machine, I don't see how we can help
you. It appears to be working. At least the local side of things do.
However, it could be a problem with your network setup. Are you able to
ping a server on the internet?
