Bug Description
The last few days i got problems with the main server from which i get updates for my internet cafe machines.
So i had to change the mirror server and made the mistake to "search" for the best server.
This leads to a long lasting episode of waiting...
On a Mint test machine i can see whats going on:
All servers around the world were pinged and waiting for ping back.
This is a waste of time and internet traffic!
Why should i (living in Germany) ping a mirror server in Brasil, USA, South Africa, Australia, .. ???
Please change this to a serious request and use/try *only* mirror servers in the same region (or at least on the same continent).
As i remind correct, this affects all releases from 10.04 till 14.10.
.
Xubuntu 12.04
