mirrors?

These mirrors are supposed to be ok according to

I use www.mirrorservice.org which is run by the University of Kent. They seem quite reliable. From my sources.list:

deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib
deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib

One per line of course. Instead of stable you can use the relevant release name if you prefer :)
