Just a tip to fellow Debian users out there: check out
apt-spy - it benchmarks connection speeds from your
site to various Debian mirrors (many of which you're
unlikely to have heard about) and can find you some
truly zippy ones. I've just done a fairly ponderous
'apt-get dist-upgrade' at work
early versions of apt-spy would rewrite your
sources.list file without saving the previous version,
so if you're running an ancient Debian box, heads up.
(I've never seen one had that problem, though...)

Woohoo!
