Use apt-p2p To Improve Ubuntu 9.04 Upgrade
An anonymous reader writes "With Jaunty Jackalope scheduled for release in 12 days on April 23, this blog posting describes how to switch to apt-p2p in preparation for the upgrade. This should help significantly to reduce the load on the mirrors, smooth out the upgrade experience for all involved, and bypass the numerous problems that have occurred in the past on Ubuntu release day. Remember to disable all third-party repositories beforehand."
I have yet to have an Ubuntu distro update smoothly, ever. But that won't stop me, onward I will plunge headlong into it with abandon. I don't like my data anyway.
p2p is a method used exclusively by criminals, there's no way im going to be using this method.
AFAIK, women prefer men who have all the latest upgrades
Maybe we need slashdot-p2p...
They are in bed with the RIAA and MPAA, but do not block any ports or filter p2p.
That does not compute!
It's not funny and it's not sarcasm. It's the same cliche meme repeated a thousandth time. LOL, p2p is helping terrorism, mod me funny. I could write a python one-liner that would produce more varied content than most of these +5, funnies all over here on /.
I even actually wrote it:
$ python -c 'print (lambda words, random: " ".join([random.choice(words)[:-1] for i in range(random.randint(1,10))]))(open("/usr/share/dict/words").readlines(), __import__("random"))+"."'

The option is called "not using apt-p2p." I don't remember the exact syntax, but I think there's a switch in the file /etc/apt/this/is/the/default.behavior
Easily found from apt-p2p's main page: protocol... please don't ask me to browse the web for you again, kthxbye.
What are you a leprechaun? You're bound by ancient laws to comply with any mortal request, the only loophole being that you can bitch all you want :).
Just to be sure, can you please post your credit card number, name, address and CID.... oh and naked pictures of your leprechaun wife too and any daughters over the age of 250 (I'm not falling for pedochaun's trap again).
