404 upon vagrant up. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com not found

I am a newer developer on a windows machine trying to set up my environment with a vvm using Vagrant , Virtualbox, and Ubuntu. I have run vagrant init and generated the vagrantfile but when I run vagrant up I am getting multiple 404 errors relating to ubuntu.

After researching I thought perhaps they were performing maintenance or updates but I have tried on multiple days now with the same result. For lack of other ideas I have tried reinstalling both vagrant and virtualbox with no success.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

This is the relevant part readout upon running vagrant up though there are quite a few more 404s after this part:
