Which mirror to select for iinet freezone usage

  • 772

Where can I select the iinet mirror in Australia for my Ubuntu installation?

iinet offers a off quota access to linux images and also an mirror.

Going through the server list on my Ubuntu 14.04 installation does not list any iinet mirrors. list of Australian mirrors

Note: When searching for iinet mirror I found a Launchpad site listing iinet.

Note 2: I'm also unsure if the internote mirror is a combined mirror and quota free for iinet users.

    You can add the link manually. To do this open a terminal and run the following command:

    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

    Now, comment out the entries by placing # in front of the lines. Add the following lines (do not put # in-front of this line!):

    deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/ <YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE> main

    Replace <YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE> with the one you are using. e.g.: if you are using 14.04, put trusty there.

    Now, press Ctrl + X , type Y to confirm and press Enter

    Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
