do you know about apt-spy? apt-spy will test mirrors around the world and construct a sources.list with the fastest one.

you may edit your sources.list for modifying third line.

for this:

Code:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

If you want to create a new sources.list , you may use netselect-apt.

Of course , you have to setup first. For this :

Code:

apt-get install netselect-apt

And type on your console:

Code:

rm /etc/apt/sources.list

--> Because sometimes program cannot create sources.list so we remove this file not to face any problem.

Code:

netselect-apt

good luck..

I hope it helps...
