Hi John, and thank you for your report! I have tried to reproduce the issue you describe, but I find that on my system I can choose any download server that I like, including the ftp.iinet.net.au that you mention.
In any case, this is actually an issue in the software-properties package, as it is that package that Software Center calls and that package that provides the dialog, etc. Therefore, I'll reassign the target package accordingly. If you can provide any further information that might help us to figure out how to reproduce this problem, please do. Thank you again for your help! ** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => software-properties (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972198 Title: I cannot cannot "choose a download server" Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I open the "Choose a Download Server" window in the Ubuntu Software Center (12.04 beta 2, x64). I then click on Australia expecting an ftp.iinet.net.au option to appear but nothing happens except highlighting the Australia option.
