For what it's worth, there should be no reason for this to stop you installing packages. There are a huge number of mirrors of Ubuntu, and most of them are not hosted by Canonical. I'm not sure where you are, but for example in the US you might try http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/, while in Europe http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ is a good choice.
Perhaps this is obvious, and perhaps not: most Ubuntu users do not have a problem using Canonical's servers, and we know this simply because such an enormous number of them manage to do so successfully. :-) It is quite probable that your ISP is in a better position to deal with this than we are, and you should absolutely contact them if you have not done so already. -- ubuntu fails to communicate with canonical https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172634 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
