Heh.

host se.archive.ubuntu.com
se.archive.ubuntu.com is an alias for ftp.acc.umu.se.
ftp.acc.umu.se has address 130.239.18.163
ftp.acc.umu.se has address 130.239.18.137
ftp.acc.umu.se has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::163
ftp.acc.umu.se has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::137
ftp.acc.umu.se mail is handled by 0 mail.acc.umu.se.


$ host us.archive.ubuntu.com
us.archive.ubuntu.com is an alias for ubuntu-archive.acc.umu.se.
ubuntu-archive.acc.umu.se has address 130.239.18.165
ubuntu-archive.acc.umu.se has address 130.239.18.173
ubuntu-archive.acc.umu.se has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::165
ubuntu-archive.acc.umu.se has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::173
ubuntu-archive.acc.umu.se mail is handled by 0 mail.acc.umu.se.

So all US ubuntu users that have deb repository entries pointing to
us.archive.ubuntu.com in their /etc/apt/sources.list are getting their
updates and upgrades from servers located on a Swedish university
campus. Was there no US mirror willing to shoulder the load of becoming
us.archive.ubuntu.com for Canonical? For shame! :)
