I imagine that this would have occurred because Pacific or AARNet or whoever else last hosted the mirror requested that they no longer be pointed at. Alternatively, the Canonical mirror admins might have decided that the service provided by the old mirror was inadequate (out of date, often down, etc.) It's rather sad that this is happening here, but it's the same even in the US...

au.archive.ubuntu.com - not in Australia today
Last month, "au.archive.ubuntu.com" pointed to the AARNet mirror, hosted in Canberra: http://geotool.servehttp.com/?host=mirror.aarnet.edu.au (Interestingly enough, all of Optus' "mirror" servers point there too). Today it points back to Ubuntu's web HQ in England: http://geotool.servehttp.com/?ip=91.189.88.31 http://geotool.servehttp.com/?ip=91.189.88.45 http://geotool.servehttp.com/?ip=91.189.88.46 I understand that with the release of Intrepid there are other issues to contend with (synchronisation with upstream, catering for the bandwidth demand, etc), but I'm a little disappointed that it has been done this way. Lets hope it returns soon to an Australian mirror soon. Those of you who understand how to hack your /etc/apt/sources.list, I'd suggest manually pointing back to an Aussie mirror (and one hosted by your ISP and/or ISP-peer) if you don't feel like seeing your packages trickle down the wire. -Dan -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
