Also, you might want to give apt-spy or netselect-apt a try: Package: apt-spy Description: writes a sources.list file based on bandwidth tests Parses a list of mirrors and tests each of the mirrors for bandwidth. Writes a /etc/apt/sources.list file based on the responses it gets. Package: netselect Description: Choose the fastest server automatically. This is netselect, an ultrafast intelligent parallelizing binary-search implementation of "ping." You give it a (possibly very long) list of servers, and it chooses the fastest/closest one automatically. It's good for finding the fastest ftp.debian.org mirror, the least laggy IRC server, or the best Squid neighbour. . This version also includes netselect-apt, which creates an apt sources.list file automatically from the huge list of Debian mirrors. I've always used netselect-apt in the past. -- Multics is security spelled sideways. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
