Noticed some errors were being shown as coming from ftp.hk.debian.org, so tried 
an unconventional experiment of setting up VPN to a HongKong server, selecting 
ro-mirrors.evowise.com/ubuntu ftp.hk.debian.org/debian as the best mirror for 
my new location and attempting cache update from there. 
Cache updating completed slowly but although there were one or two "network 
isn't available" notes, most packages achieved 100% after about an hour of 
downloading.
Experiment didn't work though;  At the end of the updating,  I got the same 
window saying "Failed to download repository information  - - Check your 
Internet connection"
Now removing that VPN connection and restoring "Download from" to Main server.
