I would like to know where the Ubuntu Main repository and Ubuntu One servers are located.

Some of that information (eg Ubuntu One) is probably a trade secret. I know they have at least a US and UK server for Ubuntu updates, but Ubuntu One is almost certainly distributed over some cloud somewhere (I think Amazon has some of it, from something Canonical published). Anyway the whole point of the cloud is that you do not want/need to know where the data is :-)– user60235May 15, 2012 at 20:45

Ubuntu One uses Amazon, so the data could be in any one of six locations around the world https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/TechnicalDetails
As for the official Ubuntu one servers I have no idea. However, the repositories (what you refer to as the "Ubuntu" server) is really a system of volunteering mirrors. You can see these mirrors under "Software sources". They are scattered, but quite a few occur at sites of other business.

Just a reminder that locating machines by their IP isn't fully reliable, however, it's a good answer you've given.– user60235May 15, 2012 at 20:53
