Debian: Finding fastest apt mirror


For Debian systems already configured and installed, there is a nifty tool that you can install that will check all of the Debian mirrors to see which is the fastest available. This doesn't always mean the the closest will be chosen and your firewall/router must allow traceroute through it.

# apt-get install netselect-apt# netselect-apt lenny

As simple as that! Thanks to mypapit's blog post.
