On the eve of the official release of Ubuntu 9.04 on May 25, April 23, linux/ubuntu/using-apt-p2p-for-faster-upgrades-from-intrepid-to-jaunty/"target = _ blank> This blog post introduces a way to upgrade Ubuntu with P2P (if you cannot connect to another node, you can still upgrade from the mirror site ), this effectively reduces the load on the Image site and avoids network congestion on the release date. Remember to disable all third-party software repositories before using the apt-p2p.

The website is offline. The following is an image:

1. apt-get install apt-p2p (Not in hard and older repos IIRC... for you late/sporadic upgraders)

2. back up your/etc/apt/sources. list and then edit the file, s/\ // \/localhost: 9977 \\// (hope I got that right -- Guess I cocould have just used # or something eh ?)

3. not in the guide: edit/etc/apt-p2p/apt-p2p.conf and set UPLOAD_LIMIT... just in case. :) You probably have to/etc/init. d/apt-p2p restart after that.

4. apt-get update

5. Then make the update... But it's not time for that yet.
