cn.archive.ubuntu.com severely outdated

[Wenzhuo Zhang]

Having noticed that the update manager of my Gutsy installation had not seen any updates for about one week, I changed the occurrences of cn.archive.ubuntu.com in sources.list to archive.ubuntu.com. After checking again, the Update Manager prompted that there are 406 updates. This means that cn.archive.ubuntu.com has been outdated for about one week.

Is there any mechanism on the part of the ubuntu project to make sure the country level mirrors are updated timely?
