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. |
