Got a stupid sounding question. My university has an Ubuntu Repo mirror (all the official ones). Now here is the stupid question. What would I add to my sources.list to make Apt use THAT mirror?

http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/ubuntu/dists/

I think that if you edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and replace each occurence of

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

(you may have something slightly different like us.archive.ubuntu)

with

http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/ubuntu/

and run sudo apt-get update

hopefully you should now update from the clarkson mirror
