Hi,

I've been trying to update and add software to my new hardy install forever. There appears to be a long standing issue with the server here in Thailand. The default (and only local mirror) in synaptic is th.archive.ubuntu - but this is very slow and plagued with timeouts. I have found a better server here in Thailand, www.mirror.in.th, and have changed all of my sources.list urls to this from the default. The new url is much faster. But there are still many instances when synaptic will point to the bad mirror. What do I edit so that everything in synaptic goes to the mirror.in.th url? International urls like Singapore or Taiwan are not an option for me. Thailand IP address or bust.

This seems to have been reported a few months ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/196128

And I see posts going back as far as 2005 that look other users had the same issue with the th.archive mirror.

Thanks.
