I'm not trying to blame anyone. I'm not a paid subscriber of canonical . So i do not think "blaming" is the right phrase to put here. I've been using ubuntu for nearly four years . I dont have any complains to ubuntu/canonical. I just want 
canonical to succeed in business. Its a wish which comes from the acknowledgement to the ubuntu project. I'm just sharing my thoughts(Although the list is not meant for general discussion, i guess i'm guilty of that :)). 

And i've tried to contact my mirror administrator (mirrors.ispros.com.bd/ubuntu) . In the web page they put up with the mirror to take feedback , my question about not synced mirror was put on hold for a long time and never answered.
