netselect-apt for debian-multimedia mirrors?


Hya,

I am having some sort of trouble connecting debian-multimedia mirror(s). Some are soooo slow.

Is there any way to netselect-apt, apt-spy or whatever similar to these debian-multimedia mirrors?

Code:
netselect mirror1 mirror2 mirror3....
does not seem to work.

Happy Penguins!

Looks from the manpage that if you could compile a list of debian-multimedia repos in a file called mirrors_full, then you could feed that file to netselect-apt and figure out which is the fastest.
