Why am I getting a Kali Linux update error with sources.list?

I have Kali Linux on a virtual machine and I can't get updates with apt-get update it shows me this error:

E: The repository 'http://http.kali.org/kali kali Release' does not have a Release file.N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.E: The repository 'http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates Release' does not have a Release file.N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

So i think the problem is in my sources.list because all the search i have done tells me that, however, the command cat /etc/apt/sources.list gives me:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contribdeb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contribdeb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

Which I tried to add but didn't fix it.

Also when I used the upgrade command it upgraded most of the packages except some that i had to do apt-get upgrade --fix-missing to get them upgraded I don't know if that is important.

This is the full respond i get from the command apt-get updateso how do i get the update.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: so i figured i had to change the sources.list file to this

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib

Now it loads for a little while and when its finished it shows another error which is:

Failed to fetch http://kali.download/kali/dists/kali-rolling/main/source/Sources.gz Hash Sum mismatch

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

And by the way it downloads the same file again when I try apt-get update

What to do now?
