Australian Mirrors

This page contains information regarding Ubuntu apt mirrors for users connected to Australian ISPs. For downloading CD images (.iso ) see http://ubuntu.com/download.

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

Official

For those who select Australia as their location in setup, this is the mirror they are given. Currently this does not lead to an Australian ubuntu mirror but to Canonical's servers
