I had the following problem just one second ago when i run

apt-get update

Could not connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80

The problem was that i was behind a proxy which has to be set in the environment using

export http_proxy=http://PROXY IP:PROXY PORT

After this it worked and i updated my system

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
