[10:43] <GeoffSK> Hi, can i ask support type questions here?
[10:45] <jea> You can
[10:46] <jea> As to whether we can answer it or not is another question
[10:46] <GeoffSK> i am doing an apt-get update, and getting a lot of Failed to fetch on backports (i am 14.04). is that me?
[10:47] <jea> what mirror are you using?
[10:47] <GeoffSK> IP: 91.189.92.191 80 - australia i think
[10:47] <GeoffSK> au.archive.ubuntu.com 
[10:52] <jea> right
[10:52] <jea> It is possible that the mirror is playing up. I haven't used backports recently to know
[10:53] <GeoffSK> that's what i am hoping. 
[10:53] <jea> Have you had issues with other types?
[10:53] <jea> ie. not backports?
[10:54] <GeoffSK> it seems to be affecting things. i tried to install svn and same errors (though in backports)
[10:55] <GeoffSK> sorry not just back-ports. also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/IRC
[10:55] <GeoffSK> oops
[10:55] <GeoffSK> more like: Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apr-util/libaprutil1_1.5.3-1_amd64.deb
[10:56] <jea> hmm
[10:57] <jea> You could try switching to another Australian mirror to see if that fixes it
[10:57] <GeoffSK> or main server?
[10:57] <jea> au.archive.ubuntu.com is the same as mirror.aarnet.edu.au
[10:57] <jea> Yes, or the main server
[10:57] <jea> I normally find AARNet to be reliable, but every so often there can be issues
[10:57] <GeoffSK> ok, trying.
[10:58] <GeoffSK> are backports commonly used?
[10:59] <jea> I am not too sure sorry
[10:59] <GeoffSK> np
[11:00] <GeoffSK> hey presto, looks like you solved my problems. Thanks
[11:03] <jea> Good to hear. Now to see how long aarnet stays broken :/
[11:04] <GeoffSK> i am sure it will be back tomorrow :)
[11:04] <GeoffSK> cya, thanks again.
[11:04] <jea> you are welcome
