The debian mirror system is a two-teired system. At the top are the push
mirrors, which are updated whenever a change is made to the archive. These
are the best mirrors. Below them are second tier mirrors that mirror only
periodically. Here's a mirror list: http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors
I use debian.midco.net and debian.terrabox.com
