| DrDeke | I have a possibly-silly question: I run a normal (non-country) Ubuntu archive mirror for my own use, and for public use. It does get some public traffic, and I am curious as to why. The installer defaults to either archive.ubuntu.com or a country mirror, right? | 22:43 |
|---|---|---|
| ravage | right | 22:44 |
| DrDeke | Is all of my traffic coming from people who have chosen to use mirror:// in their sources list, manually selecting a mirror, or using something like netselect? | 22:44 |
| ravage | is your mirror listed on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors ? | 22:44 |
| DrDeke | yeah | 22:44 |
| ravage | then thats people that chose your mirror from that list | 22:45 |
| DrDeke | (To be clear, I welcome the public use of this; I am just curious as to how people end up using it) | 22:45 |
| DrDeke | ahh ok | 22:45 |
| DrDeke | I am mildly surprised that this many people bother :) | 22:45 |
| ravage | the old installer also had a list included that let you select a mirror | 22:45 |
| ravage | i dont think the new installer offers that choice but it has been a while | 22:45 |
| DrDeke | Yeah, I think the current installer just asks you to type one in if you want something other than the default. Anyway, thanks for the info / sanity-check :) | 22:47 |
| ravage | yw | 22:47 |
