So you now don't have to get these updates from States or Europe you just get them from the one at Habari if you in Arusha or from the Aptus one in Dar.<br>
<br>In most cases it will be faster as the link will be less congested and of better quality or even cheaper because for a Habari client picking the updates from the Habari mirror it will be like picking from a server in your local network and free of bandwidth costs. Same goes for the aptus one...in time even the link to Dar will be cheaper than picking from Europe. <br>

Interesting- which networks in Tanzania will be able to use that to<br>
good effect?<br>
<br>
Also, Habari's deb-proxy works well if you're in Arusha on the HNL<br>
network (2MB/s Ubuntu updates at the CRC office, for example).<br>

Just a note for Ubuntu system admins, the entire Ubuntu Archive<br>
(750GB+) is now mirrored at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://mirror.aptus.co.tz/">mirror.aptus.co.tz</a> for faster updates.<br>
<br>
Steps to configure your system to use the mirror:<br>
