I would like to know where the Ubuntu Main repository and Ubuntu One servers are located.

  • Some of that information (eg Ubuntu One) is probably a trade secret. I know they have at least a US and UK server for Ubuntu updates, but Ubuntu One is almost certainly distributed over some cloud somewhere (I think Amazon has some of it, from something Canonical published). Anyway the whole point of the cloud is that you do not want/need to know where the data is :-) –  May 15 '12 at 20:45

Ubuntu One uses Amazon, so the data could be in any one of six locations around the world https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/TechnicalDetails

As for the official Ubuntu one servers I have no idea. However, the repositories (what you refer to as the "Ubuntu" server) is really a system of volunteering mirrors. You can see these mirrors under "Software sources". They are scattered, but quite a few occur at sites of other business.

Ubuntu One server seems to be located in Great Britain as this answer suggests.

And the Ubuntu Main repository, archive.ubuntu.com is also located in the Great Britain. As also this page returns result when input with "archive.ubuntu.com"

Hostname    archive.ubuntu.com      ISP     Canonical Ltd
