Fast Mirror
Fast Mirror is a program that I wrote in Java that helps you find which Ubuntu mirror is fastest for you. It checks both latency and bandwidth on all official Ubuntu mirrors. Here is the download. I apologize for the ad-ridden download site, but I don't have my own file hosting yet. To run it, just open a command prompt, cd to the download folder and type:

I can't figure out how to download the file. Perhaps you can post it up on the Ubuntu forums as a howto or something?
Wouldn't all this scanning of every mirror induce a lot of unnecessary traffic as more users adopt your tool?
I mean, have you considered that this tool actually may cause damage?
Pinging each server once and downloading 1MB from each server is unlikely to cause any noticeable increase in server traffic, even with a large number of users adopting the tool.
To download, just wait for the 15 second timer on the download page to finish counting down, then click the download link. Again, I apologize for the lousy hosting.
Hi David. It seems to be that files-upload.com is no longer available. Could you upload it somewhere else? Looks like an interesting app
