    ports.ubuntu.com is slow

    As I said in the title, ports.ubuntu.com is slow and I can't find any mirrors, does anyone know any mirror for it? I'm interested in the armhf port, specifically.

    Did you consider http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-cor...12.04/release/
    Installation is a tougher challenge, though.

    As a comment, I found ports.ubuntu.com to be extremely responsive.

    I'm talking about the repository, not the .iso.
    ports.ubuntu.com works well enough sometimes, but it's quirky most of the times, with frequent fluctuations. I don't fancy waiting for a long time for small downloads, so I thought there might be a mirror somewhere that I couldn't find. I'm talking from the perspective of a very minimal install, with --no-install-recommends and openbox.

    I'm quite sure that the Debian servers/mirrors would work better, but so far, I haven't found a solution to install Debian on this piece of hardware.
    DON'T PANIC!
