[olug] Ubuntu mirrors?

[Kyle Simpson]

What I usually do is find the file name for the release and search it on google and click on the first .edu serving it. Always works out great for me.

I don't remember the exact setting off the top of my head, but you can

choose your server.  If you go into the repository settings dialog, I

think it's on the first tab (maybe the second) there is a drop down

box with the server you want to use.  It won't list many, but it has

an other option.  If you choose other it'll bring another dialog up

asking which server you want to choose.  You can manually select a

server if you know which one you want, or you can have ubuntu do a

speed test and pick the fastest server for you.  That option is called

something along the lines of Select the Best Server.  I'm at work on

windows, so I can't give the exact info, but my description is pretty

close.
