Ubuntu .pool directory

Ubuntu uses a “hidden” .pool directory to store it’s iso files on the mirrors. This dir is named “.pool”.
To enter that dir just replace the version, eg edgy, with .pool

http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/ubuntu-releases/edgy/ ---> http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/ubuntu-releases/.pool/
ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/ ---> ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.ubuntu.com/releases/.pool/

Feisty is already being uploaded to the mirrors. Use the .pool directory to get it a bit earlier if you wish 🙂
