[11:28] please don't cap speed, not only me, others also [11:28] capping speed is like torturing human heart [11:29] Anime4000: dude, bandwidth is really expensive. [11:30] then just close the server, now I can't install [11:31] Anime4000: chill, man, getting folks to point to a faster server. [11:32] ok...

[12:04] I clicked just once [12:05] I click Skip once, and seeing HDD led [12:05] no activity [12:05] checking LAN led, there some blinking [12:05] hmmm... Check disc for defects (just before installation) [12:05] I use bootable External hard disk [12:06] since I use Ubuntu DVD [12:06] and I don;t have DVD disc [12:06] .... that *may* be a problem. [12:06] ok [12:06] I go try on VirtualBOX [12:06] I thinking Ubuntu still want use server [12:07] since they have speedtest or select best server [12:07] You may wanna use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ to fix it for you [12:07] I use that [12:07] ok... in VM, I untick that update and mp3 thingy [12:08] Anime4000: you used unetbootin? [12:08] yes [12:08] Hm... you're doing everything right.... [12:08] oh!!! in VM still want fetch that server!????????????? [12:08] Anime4000: skip. worked for me. [12:09] I skip it and ... same problem on my desktop [12:09] I think Ubuntu detect my line [12:09] Anime4000: heh, doubt it. which version of the iso are you using? md5sum please? [12:10] I use DVD version [12:10] since CD version keep problem, [12:10] desktop 64 bit? [12:10] 32bit [12:10] since PAE enabled [12:10] no problem for having large RAM [12:10] which dvd version? official ones are all cd sized. [12:11] why not, I use DVD version from Ubuntu site [12:11] er... please don't. not when you're using 16gig of good stuff ram. [12:11] there have link below [12:11] Anime4000: checking. [12:12] only 700mb version in my mirror. [12:12] I use this one [12:12] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads [12:12] what I think, using DVD will skip that server [12:12] seem not [12:14] .... which link on the page you gave? [12:14] I don't see any dvd version [12:14] clicking United State [12:15] will bring you to Apache HTTP file listing [12:15] ah.. wait. checking [12:15] Do a quick md5 checksum on your dvd image? [12:16] the server DVD and I download is same MD5 [12:17] tbh. I'm not sure the dvd version is that different. Because you definitely can install it without network just using the cd.. [12:17] wait. [12:17] Try that. Cabut network to that desktop and reinstall. [12:17] * angch slow. [12:18] lol take out LAN cable [12:19] eh [12:19] I retry again [12:19] why got retrying command? [12:19] I disconnect the LAN [12:19] reinstall [12:19] there have "retrying..." [12:20] ? [12:20] as you say, disconnect LAN [12:20] ok I did, and reformat again [12:21] .... i'm trying too.....

[12:23] .... my reinstall.... just worked. [12:23] I assume that server doing bad on my desktop [12:23] seriously [12:23] Dunno lah. Sounds like something else. [12:23] Even without lan cable? [12:24] yes [12:25] big problem and weriedest problem ever in my life on linux [12:26] why server bandwidth speed cap? [12:26] then provide local server with slow speed [12:26] Anime4000: nothing to do with you. [12:26] it dose [12:26] Anime4000: things change.... [12:27] not only me have problem [12:27] this one [12:27] http://askubuntu.com/questions/205726/why-is-http-my-archive-ubuntu-com-very-slow [12:27] so, don't think only few [12:27] Anime4000: I'm trying to get it to redirect to another server.... [12:28] now 5 hour + I can't even complete this! [12:30] (heh, i remember chenhaw@osacyber.org asking for getting reinstated as mirror on the mirror list... :-/ ) [12:31] Don't underestimate the bandwidth required by a mirror. Damn thing kills servers and networks.... [12:31] well, why don't close server? [12:31] Anime4000: just a little bit of good news for you: after you bringing it to attention... they've repointed the DNS for my.archive.ubuntu.com elsewhere.... just wait for DNS cache to reset. [12:32] mean you can see my IP address right? [12:32] Anime4000: ...? no? [12:32] my.archive.ubuntu.com is now pointing to other servers, not longer mmu. [12:33] you pointing to London? [12:34] Heh, I don't run the mirrors nor the DNS. [12:34] *they* are pointing it to uk. i think. [12:34] nmap saying at london [12:34] sorry, Looks like us. [12:34] 91.189.92.156 [12:35] Name: us.archive.ubuntu.com [12:35] Address: 91.189.91.15 [12:35] retrying installation [12:36] I hope it work [12:36] *anyway*, stuff should be faster now. [12:37] Just in case there's a transparent cache screwing things up, can you open up http://my.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/ [12:37] ok... now retriving file in a minute [12:37] ?
