I just created a new droplet and attempted to run sudo apt-get update as part of the LAMP tutorial and was hit with a bunch of 404 not found errors (see below). Is there an issue with the mirror currently?

Support was able to help me get this resolved by having me run:
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
Then running the update again.
