Looks like either there is or was something wrong with
debian.gtisc.gatech.edu, or there is or was something wrong with your
network including firewall rules etc.

You ran it and it failed, and now it looks like you've got some kind of
lock. If this is your personal machine or just a desktop, I'd shut it
down, power it off, bring it back up, make sure you can get to
debian.gtisc.gatech.edu, and then rerun your original commands.
