Well, well... it seems as though Adam Internet has finally got their wayward Ubuntu repository under control at FileArena, and the mirror is up to date.
This is of special importance for us Ubuntu users who use Adam Internet as their ISP as data from FileArena is unmetered, so you can download all the file system updates you want without affecting your month bandwidth quote.
Because FileArena doesn't appear in the list of Australian repositories, you're going to have to get your hands dirty with the terminal.
If you are using the stock sources.list, and haven't added any custom repositories, then you can simply replace the text in the file with what I'm using. Additionally, if you have customised your sources.list with extra repositories, you're going to have to copy the non-default entries back into the sources.list file after you replace it with what I'm using.

Save the changes, then refresh the file list.
sudo apt-get update
If it screws up, and you want to put it back the way it was, then simply replace the modified file with the backup we created earlier, sources.bak.
