Is it just me or are the repo mirrors still super slow? I am trying to download a local hardy mirror and it has been running for over 24hrs (previous version I could start it overnight and it is finished by morning).

While it is a bit frustrating, I sure hope this is from lots of people converting to ubuntu.

yeah it's been real slow for me also with both updates this week.

system->software sources->other->select best server

or something like that to find the fastest server with lowest ping time.

except that this only happened after hardy was released. it just seems odd that a lot of people are getting the same results. i will try your suggestion when i get home though, thanks.
