Ubuntu.com and some Repos down
| Posted by KMyers, 04-26-2012, 09:15 AM |
Hello All,
It looks like Ubuntu is seeing an overwhelming response to the release of 12.04 today. Their site has been down for almost an hour and I am having a real hard time hitting their repos. |

The torrents have been hitting pretty hard.
I got the 4 main torrents pushing around 1.5MB/sec on each with spikes to a full 100mbit.

Just a warning to anyone who is planning to do a dist-upgrade. Give it a few hours to calm down. It is going painfully slow on my laptop.
Edit : If you need the 64 bit version, this link seems to be working really well - http://d3qnbzt7ix5jlv.cloudfront.net...ktop-amd64.iso |

Surely waiting some day or two for the first rush to settle too. |

As they always are, thats why they have mirrors. |

You would think they would anticipate this and get the proper infrastructure ahead of time. |

I was thinking EXACTLY this - Canonical is big enough they would have proper infrastructure! |

lol. Big enough, maybe. It's still being released for free. Nobody can complain. |

But people will anyway.
"FREE software, but I need to wait a few hours for the tubes to unclog? How dare they!?!? WE WILL DESTROY THEM!" |

There are mirrors for both the release and repos. Not to mention you can torrent the release. I dont see what the problem is, this happened's every release. |

There's always a huge hit on their servers at new release time....even more so on this one because it's an LTS.
But all seems to have settled down today. |

am i the only one that waits for the mint version to come out? For me the day ubuntu comes out usually marks the countdown to the mint edition being released |

Your not the only one waiting for a fresh release of Mint. I normally run mint on all of my personal stuff (and stock Ubuntu + Gnome on one of my work machines). |

Linux Mint is a great option too, I agree. Even though I don't neccessarily agree with some of the choices they make, it's tons better than Unity, and the wonder of Linux is everything can be changed to perfection! |
