Ubuntu Archive Mirror reporting tool for apt sources configuration
Project description
Find a fast, up-to-date Ubuntu Archive Mirror.
Features
- Tests latency to mirrors in mirrors.txt.
3 requests are sent to each mirror, minumum round trip time being used for rank.
- Reports latency, status, and bandwidth capacity of the fastest mirrors in a ranked list.
Status and bandwidth are scraped from launchpad.
- Generates sources.list file using new mirror.
New mirror can be chosen from a list or selected automatically using the top ranked mirror (default).
