A useful Debian tool

Last Updated on September 30, 2010 by Dave Farquhar

apt-sources downloads a current list of Debian mirrors and benchmarks them, then writes an /etc/apt/apt-sources file for you, thus giving you an up-to-date and fastest-possible source of downloads.
It takes a while to run but if you do a lot of apt-getting, it’s likely to be worthwhile.
