Hi All, We have a mirror service primarily used internally here at Angani but we are leaving it open to the public. Currently only debian i386 and amd64 packages are available at the moment but we also have CentOS and Ubuntu in the pipeline for this week. We are also amenable to hosting other distros so just ask! To use it, modify your /etc/apt/sources.list to something like this: <snip> deb http://mirror.angani.co/debian/ wheezy main deb http://mirror.angani.co/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib </snip> The speeds are pretty decent especially from providers who have an open local loop policy :-) <snip> $ wget http://mirror.angani.co/debian/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.10-1-486_3.10... --2013-08-07 12:56:54-- http://mirror.angani.co/debian/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.10-1-486_3.10...
