I just take the names as shown on <a href="http://xubuntu.org/get" target="_blank">http://xubuntu.org/get</a> . I do not maintain the website, and can not change anything on it. It is shown as "<a href="http://se.archive.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">se.archive.ubuntu.com</a>", which I think is in Sweden. </blockquote><div> Hmm, shall I change it to Sweden then? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I do think a few more sites mirroring xubuntu would be greatly beneficial. Europe is huge. United States is huge. Xubuntu has one mirror in the United States, Ubuntu has 23. Xubuntu has 1 mirror in Australia, Ubuntu has 7. Xubuntu has 1 mirror in France, Ubuntu has 13. As of today, 26 April 2009, the mirror in Germany is still giving a 404 error. Perhaps having two mirrors minimum per country would be a good thing. It would increase the workload only slightly, since the push to the mirrors is automatic. Once added to the website, maintenance is minumum. It greatly increases the chances of getting Xubuntu out in a timely manner.</blockquote><div> </div></div>Agreed, if more mirrors are set up be sure to poke me then I'll update the website :) -- Vincent
