So I noticed that the default ca.archive.ubuntu.com mirrors were kind of slow.. so I did a quick  little traceroute..

Anyone else notice a problem?

I'm figuring that it is most likely also because of the time ( see last command ).

-bash-4.1# traceroute 91.189.92.154
traceroute to 91.189.92.154 (91.189.92.154), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
