To answer my own question; I switched to the alternate US mirror site, as described in: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Installation/UbuntuMirrors, e.g.:

sudo sh -c '. /etc/lsb-release && echo "deb http://mirror.umd.edu/packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $DISTRIB_CODENAME main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
