Subject: [Hampshire] Ubuntu mirror is slow
Hi list ,
I installed the Ubuntu 8.10 which I got from the previous LUG meet of
Hants and surrey.

I am now dist upgrading it to 9.04 . I am quite surprised by the slow mirror :O

My bandwidth especially to UK based linux mirrors is high because I am
connected via university n/w to JANET

I used to get nice bandwith with Debian UK mirror . I am now connected
to Ubuntu mirror gb.archive.ubuntu.com I am not sure if it is located
at UK ??

Is there a Ubuntu mirror which is located near JANET .. I mean any
univ based mirror ?

PS: I could also get nice speeds from other UK based mirrors which are
not on JANET .

Regards,
Pavithran
