Thread: Choosing a faster mirror from the command line

-

hi all,

i'm getting slow package download speeds local mirror (http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/).

know can select faster mirrors using gui tools, slimmed-down server install no graphical environment installed yet.

there command-line tool available in current versions of ubuntu selects faster mirror ?

read instructions @ http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922...e-command-line adding following top of sources.list file:

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
however, after adding these, installs still select gb.archive.ubuntu.com mirror use, , i'm still seeing speeds of 22k/s

advice appreciated!

the lines added not actual mirrors.

aware 12.04 has been released , lot of servers running lots of people downloading , installing new version.

changing server might not help.it after new release.

in link quoted there line update sources.list file
sed 's/us\.archive\.ubuntu\.com/mirror.math.ucdavis.edu/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
this changes lines in sources.list file , uses us server called mirror.math.ucdavis.edu.so need know actual name of server , in country located.

can find names of servers in software sources in button called find best server

luck
