Hi
After doing sudo apt-update and sudo dist-upgrade, I encounter issues that it cannot download any repositories from the US server on my Ubuntu-Mate 18.04.2

Hi,
try changing your download location to a different server like the UK, it may help?.
Hi, Still getting the same issues. I have only two options. One is the Main Server and the other United States.

Hi,
you have several 404 messages so take a look at the following link and the section regarding changing repo locations. " Changing your software sources download location".
These are my own setting preferences, use at your own risk!.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE FOR LINUX BEGINNERS. WHEN YOU ARE IN RECOVERY MODE, THE KEYBOARD DEFAULTS TO US ENGLISH, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER LANGUAGE KEYBOARD OTHER THAN US ENGLISH, WHEN YOU TYPE "Y" (FOR "YES"), IT MIGHT SHOW UP AS A DIFFERENT LETTER, ON MY KEYBOARD I MUST PRESS THE "Z" KEY WHICH EQUATES TO "Y" AS I HAVE A GERMAN KEYBOARD, JUST PRESS "BACKSPACE" AND HIT A DIFFERENT KEY UNTIL YOU SEE THE "Y" SHOW UP!.
