Thanks very much for this. I started the updating my Ubuntu server to 9.04 via the GUI update manager, and noticed that the 3rd step (Getting New Packages) was chugging along at 40-60kB/s.

Being an Internode customer, I cancelled it, updated my sources.list as per your advice, and recommenced the Distro Upgrade. It’s flying along at my ADSL2+ speed now – cheers.
