problem w/ mirrors.sonic.net/ubuntu?

[seank]

Been receiving messages from Linux Mint Update Manager regarding inability to connect to the ubuntu mirror for the past week or so. It's been prompting me to choose a different mirror. Just received the following:

Cannot initiate the connection to mirrors.sonic.net:80 (2001:5a8:601:4003:157:131:224:201). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) Could not connect to mirrors.sonic.net:80 (157.131.224.201), connection timed out

Is this a known problem?

Hi seank,

We've received some reports with our mirrors server lately, and we're looking into it.

I've updated the apache config to handle the load on the server better, this should probably resolve the timeout issues. We're also going to stuff a bunch more ram into the host for ZFS ARC and when that's completed will add an SSD for L2ARC. That should improve responsiveness and throughput since the HDDs are getting a little thrashed.

shoot. i just updated from a different mirror so have nothing outstanding at the moment. i'll switch back to the sonic mirror and let you know what happens on the next update cycle which should be within a day or three.

just had a pair of relatively small updates from the ubuntu mirror. seemed to have no problems. thanks for your attention to this.
