Fastest Ubuntu Mirror in California

[Livid]

Recently I found it's really slow to download from us.archive.ubuntu.com , which is the default mirror in most cases.

After some searches and tests, I found this mirror hosted with UC Davis is really fast in California:

http://mirror.math.ucdavis.edu/ubuntu/

So all you need to do is to open your /etc/apt/sources.list with Vim and enter:

%s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/mirror.math.ucdavis.edu/g

And run `apt-get update` once, then you'll be downloading updates from the faster new mirror.

另外，Debian有自动测速的apt-spy工具，Ubuntu似乎没有

美国的话一般附近大学的镜像总是最快的。
