[Bug 10856] Re: use mirrorselect or something similar

[Lalo Martins]

The bug was about the Ubuntu installer, not regular package installation
on the course of system usage. And although I have installed Ubuntu
three times in the last year, I haven't actually paid attention to
whether it picks the nearest/fastest mirror during that process. So, I
have no idea, but hopefully this should be enough information for
someone who knows the installer more intimately, to verify.

Title:
  use mirrorselect or something similar

Status in “choose-mirror” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  when installing apt, Ubuntu asks us if we want to download packages from the
  'net. It would be nice if it would then use mirrorselect to choose one from a
  list of mirrors. Even better if the list of mirrors is also fetched from the net
  so that it's up-to-date ;-)
