Does apt support this kind of thing yet?

Okay, I'm stumped.
I used to go directly to ftp.debian.org for my packages. However, I
started feeling guilty about hammering the central servers, so I started using
mirrors.
The problem with that was that many of the mirrors

Yeah, it's the only available resource, but it's really too obscure
to be useful unless you already know the answer! Take it from
