What component is not working as you expect? The mirroring or the using of the mirror as your repository source? What errors are you getting? Remember you can't setup the sources.list to point to your mirror until you have a successful local mirror in the first place. When you run Apt-Mirror, is it actually confirming that it is downloading data via a progress meter? Is there actual downloaded data in your /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror directory? Hi Michael,

Sorry that you experiencing trouble, but believe me, it works and works well.

What component is not working as you expect? The mirroring or the using of the mirror as your repository source?

What errors are you getting? Remember you can’t setup the sources.list to point to your mirror until you have a successful local mirror in the first place.

When you run Apt-Mirror, is it actually confirming that it is downloading data via a progress meter? Is there actual downloaded data in your /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror directory?

It does....not....work What I get is: /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ and then subdirectories: main/ multiverse/ restricted/ universe/ and a but load of error messages if I configure the sources.list per any instructions I have found anywhere on the web if I try to run updates. I'm beginning to think everyone is lying about working mirrors. “To view the downloaded files. just go to /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror and you will see a new directory there called mirror.internode.on.net”

No, I don’t:

instructor@utility:/var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror$ ls -a
. .. archive.ubuntu.com

“Pat yourself on the back. Job well done!”

It does….not….work

What I get is:

/var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/

and then subdirectories:

main/
multiverse/
restricted/
universe/

and a but load of error messages if I configure the sources.list per any instructions I have found anywhere on the web if I try to run updates.

I’m beginning to think everyone is lying about working mirrors.
