Bug stats One of the things that makes it possible to keep Ubuntu download-speeds high, are the global networks of “mirrors”, each one providing a quick, local way of getting the programs that make up Ubuntu. Thanks to the number of mirrors, frequently the person downloading and their nearest mirror end up being in the same country.
If you’re one of those tireless mirror administrators donating bandwidth to keep speeds high, then there is a piece just for you. The Launchpad section in this weeks issue includes a special request to Ubuntu mirror administrators to check their details in the CD (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+cdmirrors) and archive (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+archivemirrors) mirror listings. Please ensure that they are listed (and if you’re not listed, register (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+newmirror) now!).
You can head over now and catch the full Ubuntu Weekly News #20 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue20) in one easy page.
