Ubuntu China Mirrors: One-Click Switch to Tsinghua, USTC & Aliyun
Ubuntu’s default repositories are overseas — one update takes forever. Switch to a domestic mirror with just three commands.
Tsinghua Mirror
sudo sed -i 's/archive.ubuntu.com/mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sed -i 's/security.ubuntu.com/mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
USTC Mirror
sudo sed -i 's/archive.ubuntu.com/mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sed -i 's/security.ubuntu.com/mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
Aliyun Mirror
sudo sed -i 's/archive.ubuntu.com/mirrors.aliyun.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sed -i 's/security.ubuntu.com/mirrors.aliyun.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
All three providers offer similar speeds — just pick one. You’ll see the difference in apt update speed immediately.
