Didn’t you ever wanted to know where the corious server from which you’re currently downloading is located?

I did! Here’s the solution:

geoiplookup - look up country using IP Address or hostname

The .deb package for installing is called geoip-bin

The output is not very detailed it just prints out the country, but if you download this .gz and extract it to /usr/share/GeoIP you can also find out what city/town.

geoiplookup amazon.de
