Hello, @Ayora @Antonio253 @AmpDevs
Ubuntu 18.10 (aka cosmic) reached end of life on July 18, 2019
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
After a release has been EOL for some time, Ubuntu moves the repositories to denote that they are no longer supported. A temporary solution could be to change the sources to old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ but it will be better to upgrade to a supported release.

Hope this helps.

I have noticed that @alexdo. But, even if the versión has reached its end of life, Digital Ocean should have the version on their servers, cause droplet are configured with their own repositories :( That’s my opinion.
By the way, I have downgraded the version to 18.04 and then upgraded to 19.10. If you are interested, I am leaving this post which shows how to do the downgraded part:

Thanks for the help.

Hello, @Pais
Are you still experiencing the issue? I’ve just tested this by creating an Ubuntu droplet in the same region and everything seems to be working just fine. I believe this was a temporary issue.

If you’re still experiencing any issues with the repositories or anything else is not working as expected please report this.
Let me know how it goes.
