Package: apt-spy Version: 3.1-19 Severity: normal I just tried to find the fastest mirror for my network. I have one selected by netselect (ftp.plusline.de) which is quite fast. So I expected that apt-spy should find it or a faster one, and it is obviosly listed in mirrors.txt.
However, no such thing happened! I set the area filter to Europe because otherwise it started crawling all around the world... and it didn't test _any_ German server except of the main one. Which is very unfortunate, IMHO.
