[ubuntu-za] Mirrors down?

[Arthur Rilke]

Hi Christo,

Although I don't use exactly the same repos you do, I had similar
problems around 17h or 18h this evening.

I couldn't connect to the following sites: za.archive.ubuntu.com,
mirrors.ac.za, tenet.ac.za, up.ac.za, unisa.ac.za. Even DNS lookups of
some of these weren't working.

I have no idea what happened, but everything seems to be fine now. My
upstream provider is Telkom.

This doesn't quite explain why a repo such as that of VirtualBox isn't
working for you, though -- the other sites above are all linked to the
tenet network as far as I know, which might explain why they all went
down.

Arthur
