Fastly Repository
Hi everyone,  We're currently testing the [Fastly CDN](https://www.fastly.com), which has the potential to really boost the performance of our repositories. **How to test** 1. Launch the `Software Sources` tool. 2. Click on `Restore the default settings` to ensure you're using the official mirror. 3. Edit `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list` with: `sudo xed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list` 4. In this file, replace: `http://packages.linuxmint.com` with: `http://fastly.linuxmint.io` 5. Update your APT cache with: `apt update` **What to expect** - Faster response times. Unlike our repositories which are located in Chicago, this is a global CDN, with servers all over the World. - Consistent speeds. Packages are cached. When more people download them, the speeds should not go down. - High availability. **How long is this test** One month, two months maybe? It's hard to predict. We're testing load, pricing, updates.. **HTTPS** You can also test the Fastly repositories via HTTPs. Instead of: `http://fastly.linuxmint.io` Use: `https://fastly.linuxmint.io` **How to give us Feedback** We expect the Fastly CDN to be fast, consistent and highly available. If you're testing it and you're happy with it, simply react to this issue with the rocket emoji 🚀. If you are experiencing problems, let us know with a co
