Consider including how to switch repository mirrors in the documentation - ralphy - 11-21-2016
It would be good to document somewhere (maybe in the Help Manual) how to switch and use a different Linux Lite repository.
/litemanual/software.html#sources explains how to "Change your Software Updates Country Location" but that does not apply to the Linux Lite repository. It doesn't really help much if there are different mirrors for the Linux Lite repository but everyone keeps on using the default one. As Linux Lite user base grows, requests to master server will increase substantially over time. It is helpful for the master server and most importantly for end-users to use a LL mirror closer to them other than repo.linuxliteos.com.

Good idea, added to list of to-do's.

Thank you Jerry.
Not only it was taken into account but it is also live already. I got the Help Manual updates through Unlockforus mirror, which was also used in the documentation as example. So, yeah, it is documented already and the mirror backend is also working as expected.
Awesome!

A good example of one of those suggestions that come in from the community that just makes sense to include.
