Broken update mirror

System wont update because it cannot fetch the ZorinOS upgrade repo. How can I fix this? (I've already tried to update and --fix-missing)

Try changing to main server, not a mirror. (Updater -> Setting)

Full procedure to get to settings is to start the Software Updater, click on Stop then click on Settings. On the interface that appears click on first tab, then against Software sources, use drop-down arrow at side of named mirror and change this to 'Main Server'.

Just remembered, I think I have covered this issue as one of the first things to do post-install in both the Unofficial Manual for Zorin 15 and 17!

I refreshed the source list and ran sudo apt update but it still fails to upgrade

Try install the offending package manually from:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/zorinos/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zorin-os-upgrader/
