They only know whatever is written in /etc/apt/source.list If you put there the address of the local mirror instead of the one actually there your system will get its updates from the local mirror as you asked. -- Leo "TheHobbit" Cacciari Aliae nationes servitutem pati possunt populi romani est propria libertas -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> Hi Is there a way to forcefully redirect the client to Local Ubuntu Mirror ? The reason being we do not want to choke Internet bandwidth while visiting Global Ubuntu Mirror. Thanks Kaushal
