possibly the mirror is just misbehaving :( it's been a while since i ran it, so I'm honestly not sure what's going on with it these days. -chris
My suggestion is to use http://http.debian.net/debian as your source. It uses geo thingie to figure out the closest mirror to you. Code is on github if you're interested in how it works. https://github.com/rgeissert/http-redirector On 10/5/2013 11:11 PM, Christopher Morrow wrote:

Apparently mirrors.ubuntu.com picks a mirror based on geographical location using lines like this: |deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise main restricted universe multiverse deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise-security main restricted universe multiverse I'm not sure how good it is at picking a mirror though. ubuntu seems to make a mess of the sources.list file and makes it scary to change. I always leave it with the mirror I chose during install. This: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SourcesList Says you can pick "Select Best Server" from a menu. That would probably work okay if it's not a headless box. |
there's also the unfortunate case of: "My traffic to the selected mirror is over the 'expensive' transit port, why can't I use my SFP's mirror over there on the left?" setting the mirror to a specific one means some fragility, but determinism is nice.

mirror.symnds.com has debian/ubuntu and is in Ashburn on Above.net FYI. On Mon, Oct 07, 2013 at 01:51:31PM -0400, Christopher Morrow wrote:
