Find out best server for you to download repo applications

Ubuntu provides a very rich repository to download and install
softwares. We can find and install these applications from Software
Center under Applications tab. If we install a software, first it is
downloaded from a server and then it is installed. Sometimes the
download speed is not good. To increase your download speed from the
repository follow the steps below -

1. Go to System > Administration > Software Sources
   
2. Under the Ununtu Software tab you will find an option Download from.
   
3. Click on that and select Other...
   
4. A new window will open click on Select Best Server.
   
5. This will perform several tests and select best server for you.
   
6. Now, close the window clicking close and click yes to update the
   repository.....
