Hello,
I've double checked and the mirrors are working normally. Is it possible that your Linode doesn't have any outbound network connectivity? I'd recommend checking with:
curl -I linode.com
curl -I google.com
It may be that certain connections are blocked in your Linode's firewall. You can check your firewall rules in iptables with:
iptables -L -nv --line-numbers
If there's no block in iptables, but it's still not working for you, open up a ticket and myself or another member of the support team will be happy to help.
