Locaweb Cloud Hosts Official Ubuntu Mirror
June 30 , 2010Since 04/29/2010 Locaweb is part of the official Ubuntu mirror sites in Brazil, both for ISOs (releases) and packages (archive) of all supported versions of Ubuntu.
Hosted on the same Cloud solution we offer our clients, the LTS version of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) had 1134 downloads the first day and an additional 2461 the following day, for a total of 2.9 TB transferred in just two days!
Until the time of this writing there were a total of 33802 downloads, mostly of the desktop version of Ubuntu.
For the Cloud clients that use Ubuntu, the Mirror download is actually a local transfer, and therefore the data transfer isn’t counted towards the plan limits, aside from being much faster.
To change your Ubuntu server to use the Locaweb Mirror as a package repository, follow the instructions in our Wiki.
