I'm trying to set up ubuntu from my old macintosh laptop, but when it asks me to put in the "mirror of ubuntu archive" I run into problems.
For the mirror, I put in mirror.anl.gov
for the ubuntu archive mirror directory, i put in pub/ubuntu/
Then I leave the http proxy blank and hit "continue"
It then tries to "download release files", which starts at 0%, and eventually jumps straight to 100% and then it presents me with an error of "bad mirror archive".
Any advice? I never set up ubuntu before, and I'm really struggling with this step.

How old is this Mac? PowerPC hasn't been on most mirrors since 6.04, so you'll need to find somewhere that's specifically mirroring ports.ubuntu.com
