Hi,

It's the first full day after the new Ubuntu release and it appears
that gb.archive.ubuntu.com is rather overloaded to the point where I
am receiving alerts for it.

This also affects bitfolk's apt-cacher for Ubuntu, as it is only a
cache and may have problems fetching new packages that aren't
currently cached.

There is not much I can do about it, but I have added the following
upstream mirrors to the allowed list:

University of Kent:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
DataHop, London:
http://ubuntu-archive.datahop.it/ubuntu/

If you are having problems doing an update, you can try replacing
the "gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" part of the URLs with the above.

Cheers,
Andy
