Fail when update system

Question

I get in some trouble when I tried to update the system

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/apps/binary-amd64/Packages  521  Origin Down [IP: 104.28.24.125 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/apps/binary-i386/Packages  521  Origin Down [IP: 104.28.24.125 80]

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I tried to follow some old answer but it didn't work just because I didn't download from PPA repository but GetDeb. I tried to follow this guide in GetDeb but when I enter sudo apt-get update, the terminal still informs about the same error.

Updated with pastebin the source list

Update with new information when sudo apt-get update, this shows a new error:

W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ trusty-getdeb/apps amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.getdeb.net_ubuntu_dists_trusty-getdeb_apps_binary-amd64_Packages)

W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ trusty-getdeb/apps i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.getdeb.net_ubuntu_dists_trusty-getdeb_apps_binary-i386_Packages)

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

First error:

   W: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/apps/binary-amd64/Packages  521  Origin Down [IP: 104.28.24.125 80]

means that server is down. I tested repository url and it is really down.

Second error that you got means that there are two entries for the same repository.

Check where are defined using these commands:

  grep "archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ trusty-getdeb/apps" /etc/apt/sources.list 
  grep "archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ trusty-getdeb/apps" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

If you find out multiple definition, remove duplicated items and redo:

  sudo apt-get update

Today I checked repository url and now it seems up.
