this bug is a bit outdated, and at least partially fixed. In the previous comment, "CC.ubuntu.com" stands for "country code" -- eg, if I install Ubuntu and tell it I'm in China, it will default to cn.archive.ubuntu.com.
Then, if I go to "software sources" and want to change it, there is a button that allows me to ping all mirrors and select the fastest -- which is what I originally requested. Arguably, this pinging could be done automagically on install time. But whether or not to do it is a strategic decision; as the original requester, I'm quite satisfied that we simply have the option of doing it from the UI. -- use mirrorselect or something similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10856 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
