Software updater reports a failure to complete any of the http requests, saying "check your internet connection" until I change the mirror to another one, then change it back again. Only after these steps, it works finally.

Hi, please try to describe your bug completely, including steps taken to reach it.

It seems that between 1 and 2 you omitted that you selected "Other" in "Download from: Main server" and then clicked "select best server", is that right?

What was that standard canonical referenced mirror?
