Here is the list of all of the Ubuntu mirrors:
I usually use the Michigan Tech Linux Users' Group mirror (http://lug.mtu.edu/ubuntu/) and get decent download speeds. Their archive looks to be much more up to date than the Chicago one that you are using. They have the correct version of both files you specify below; the Chicago one has 3.7.2, but not 3.7.4.
