Local Apt Mirrors
This page contains information regarding Ubuntu apt mirrors for users connected to Australian ISPs. Some ISPs offer unmetered downloads to certain mirrors - see below. For downloading CD images (.iso) see http://ubuntu.com/download.
How to set it up
Automatic (GUI) setup
The best way to choose your mirror if you're not familiar with editing files on Linux is to use the provided tool, accessed through the Dash and search for "Software Sources". (If you use Kubuntu or Xubuntu, the method of access will be different, but should have the same general effect.)
In the Ubuntu Software tab, there is a "Download from" drop-down menu. If you choose "Other..." from this menu, a dialogue will appear showing all of the available mirrors, with Australian mirrors expanded by default (if you selected Australia as your location when you installed Ubuntu). Choose the appropriate mirror from the list there, close the software sources dialogue, and choose "Reload" when prompted to refresh the software sources.
You are now set up to download from your preferred mirror!
Manual (text file) setup
The following is an /etc/apt/sources.list template for Ubuntu. Replace <mirror> with one of the mirrors listed below and <version> with your distribution name (dapper, gutsy, hardy, intrepid, jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick etc)
## All officially supported packages, including security- and other updates deb <mirror> <version> main restricted deb <mirror> <version>-security main restricted deb <mirror> <version>-updates main restricted ## The source packages (only needed to recompile existing packages) #deb-src <mirror> <version> main restricted #deb-src <mirror> <version>-security main restricted #deb-src <mirror> <version>-updates main restricted ## All community supported packages, including security- and other updates deb <mirror> <version> universe multiverse deb <mirror> <version>-security universe multiverse deb <mirror> <version>-updates universe multiverse ## The source packages (only needed to recompile existing packages) #deb-src <mirror> <version> universe multiverse #deb-src <mirror> <version>-security universe multiverse #deb-src <mirror> <version>-updates universe multiverse
Another way is to modify the file that contains the mirror list:
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors
Checking mirror status
See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors to find out whether your preferred mirror is up-to-date.
