Public bug reported:
Go to System > Administration > Software Sources
Click on Other in the Download from
Choose Best Server
Software-sources would run some tests (most probably latency tests)
and give a mirror which has less latency to you.
So till its fine.
The problem is one doesn't know
a. How fresh the mirror is ?
b. Would it update all the repositories or not?
Both a & b may or may not be related with each other.
I have experienced few times that the best server choosen for me didn't
mean I get a fresher one as well.
