acng's mirror list is generated by getting the list from http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/english/mirror/Mirrors.masterlist?view=co and massive probing (fetching index and looking for the validity). This not a perfect solution and it also doesn't consider inofficial mirrors that have never been reported to the FTP masters. If that's ok, feel free to use this functionality. But I would reconsider the daily interval, maybe once a week is enough. Anyhow, the makefile rules can be used like this: get the source, run "make get_deb_input conf/deb_mirrors.gz" inside, and then copy conf/deb_mirrors.gz to /usr/lib/apt-cacher-ng/deb_mirrors.gz . And restart acng afterwards... since no on-the-fly database reloading is implemented yet. The make rules also contain a basic check for changes in the index mentioned above, i.e. the mirror scan doesn't run when nothing has been changed there.
