Cabal update error: "ErrorMisc Unsuccessful HTTP code: 404"

I have a problem with a fresh installation of the Haskell-Platform 2013.2. When I want to run cabal update I get the error as aforementioned. I have no idea what is going wrong.

I got a similar problem, and found this on SO on my searches. I installed haskell to C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2014.2.0.0. On running cabal update, I got 

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal.exe: Failed to download
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz : ErrorMisc "Error
HTTP code: 404"

I tried powershell with admin and all of 

cabal update
cabal install cabal-install
cabal install ghc-mod

all seem to do the appropriate thing
