Hello Pablo,

mirror.anl.gov is not in Miami, and we never randomly point *.archive.u.c domain names at mirrors without prior written approval from their adminstators.

Note that archive.u.c itself is in the UK and the speed difference between that and the Brazil mirror is negliable in my humble opinion. All of South America was pointed at the Brazil university mirror as it was deemed the best connected in the region.

Next steps for solving the problem are:

1) Get a mirror in Uruguay, hosted by a well-connected ISP.
2) Get approval from the mirrors admin to have uy.archive pointed at it.
3) Have the admin write to mirrors at ubuntu dot com with the necessary details about the mirror.

Thanks
