Problem with sm.archive.ubuntu.com

[Chris Jones]

Hi

(fwiw, mirrors at ubuntu.com is probably a better way to talk to the mirror 
admins, or #ubuntu-mirrors on irc.freenode.net)

correct, any country which doesn't have a mirror who have agreed to be 
the official country mirror, defaults to archive.ubuntu.com in London.

Normally we would want to discuss a change in official country mirror 
with the mirror admins for that site, however, given the location and 
size of San Marino, it doesn't seem like it would put much additional 
stress on the Italian mirror. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

It may take a little while for the DNS update to propagate, but 
sm.archive.ubuntu.com now points to it.archive.ubuntu.com.

Cheers,
