Hi, today I tried to upgrade one of my Computers to Lucid to try and to some bug reporting, however I encountered a few issues that have kept me from upgrading so far. I am currently in China, and thus need to use one of the local mirrors, since any international mirrors are simply _too_slow_. One of the mirrors here is rootguide.org which is reasonably fast, but lacks behind with the lucid repo about one week: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors. So I tried to switch to BJTU which at least today is showing as up-to-date. After I configured the new sources.list manually with the bjtu mirror, which I could for some reason not choose from the Administration->Software Sources Tool I tried to check the sources again and then got the error below.
Despite these errors I was able to start the upgrade and it downloaded the first 1400 files with about 250KiB/s then it failed with some error similar the one below and after I restarted it now loads the rest of the files with 8KiB/s. However I have no way of seeing what exact file it is downloading or whats the reason it is suddenly so slow. Anyway, can anyone tell me something about these errors? And is there any way to check whether a mirror is consistent with the official ubuntu servers?
