I was looking through the server lists, and wondered if va.archive.ubuntu.com that server was for?

Is it for Virginia?

Kind regards

So from what I understand of that, the IPs are registered in the Isle of Man?

Hi


So from what I understand of that, the IPs are registered in the Isle of Man?

Seems to be the case. Whether the server is there or not is a different matter but ip's are allocated based on geography.

IIRC, that's how things like the BBC iplayer and others block content for different users in different countries.
