Creating Ubuntu Gutsy chroot on Mint 17.1 fails to download Packages.bz2

I am trying to create a chroot to Ubuntu 7.10 on host running Linux Mint 17.1 64-bit. For that, I first created an entry in /etc/chroot/chroot.conf
Code:

[gutsy]
description=Ubuntu Gutsy
location=/genera
priority=3
users=naman
groups=sbuild
root-groups=root

and then entered the command:
Code:

sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd gutsy /genera http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
However, this is the output I get:
Code:

I: Retrieving Release
I: Retrieving Release.gpg
I: Checking Release signature
I: Valid Release signature (key id 630239CC130E1A7FD81A27B140976EAF437D05B5)
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Validating Packages
W: Retrying failed download of http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Validating Packages
W: Retrying failed download of http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2
I: Retrieving Packages

and so on. I visited http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubunt.../binary-amd64/ by my browser and sure enough, the file Packages.bz2 is there. My internet connection is working too.

The file gets downloaded by the name of debootstrap.invalid_dists_gutsy_main_binary-amd64_Packages.bz2 in /genera/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ and as soon as the download is finished, it gives that "Retrying failed download..." message and start downloading it all over again.


Do I need to enter a different mirror? Or is something else wrong?
