los servidores ar.archive.ubuntu.com NO ESTÁN EN ARGENTINA... de hecho,
están en Inglaterra (lo cual es bastante peor que si estuvieran en USA).

Estos servidores son los que Canonical usa para todos los países en que
no hay mirrors confiables:
$ host ar.archive.ubuntu.com
ar.archive.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.88.40
ar.archive.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.88.46
ar.archive.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.88.45
ar.archive.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.88.140
ar.archive.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.88.31


Veamos donde están:

 $ for ip in `host ar.archive.ubuntu.com | grep -v 'is an alias for' |
sed -e 's/^.*has address //'`; do echo "========"; echo ${ip}; host
${ip} ; geoiplookup ${ip}; done

Todos en Sevenoaks, Gran Bretaña...

En cambio, los de Brasil, están en Brasil (y tienen tremendo ancho de
banda y están topológicamente cerca de Argentina...

${ip} ; geoiplookup ${ip}; done

yo desde hace un par de años, lo primero que hago al terminar de
instalar Ubuntu es configurarlo para que use los servers de Brasil...
