Last month, "au.archive.ubuntu.com" pointed to the AARNet mirror, hosted in Canberra:
http://geotool.servehttp.com/?host=mirror.aarnet.edu.au (Interestingly enough, all of Optus' "mirror" servers point there too). Today it points back to Ubuntu's web HQ in England: http://geotool.servehttp.com/?ip=91.189.88.31 http://geotool.servehttp.com/?ip=91.189.88.45 http://geotool.servehttp.com/?ip=91.189.88.46 I understand that with the release of Intrepid there are other issues to contend with (synchronisation with upstream, catering for the bandwidth demand, etc), but I'm a little disappointed that it has been done this way. Lets hope it returns soon to an Australian mirror soon. Those of you who understand how to hack your /etc/apt/sources.list, I'd suggest manually pointing back to an Aussie mirror (and one hosted by your ISP and/or ISP-peer) if you don't feel like seeing your packages trickle down the wire. -Dan -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
