Maybe can we have a look at the debian netselect package [1]. I'm thinking about a simple tool to select the nearest/quicker server, and update a configuration somewhere (something like ~/.config/distutils2/mirror.cfg), then use it by default. I'm updating the mirror support in distutils2 to reflect last PEP changes, and will provide it in distutils2.mirrors.py, I guess. [1] http://packages.debian.org/sid/netselect Cheers, Alexis
