Hi All,

I recently switched to BigPond (long and sad story) and due to their  
rather small quotas I went hunting for anything and everything I could  
from their quota-free content.  Consequently, I have the following  
sources list for my 8.0.4 LTS box.

/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main  
restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main  
restricted universe multiverse

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'
## and 'multiverse' repositories.
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy universe multiverse

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the  
'backports'
## repository.
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main  
restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main  
restricted universe multiverse

## Security Updates
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security main  
restricted
deb http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security universe  
multiverse
deb-src http://mirror.gamearena.com.au/ubuntu hardy-security universe  
multiverse

## Some stuff I need to make my UPnP server (Media Tomb) work better!
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free

After editing your sources list, run a "sudo apt-get --fix-missing  
update" ... or whatever the equivalent is in the GUI.  Voila!!

Hope that saves someone the search :)  Enjoy quota-free Ubuntu updates!

Cheers,

James
