    You can use a program call apt-spy to generate a working
    /etc/apt/sources.list. You can specify an area, such as `Asia',
    `Europe', `North-America'. Or you can specify a country-list. You can
    specify a distribution to use, such as `stable', `testing' or
    `unstable'. I would recommend that you save a backup of your current
    sources.list.

    After installing apt-spy, do an 'apt-spy update', to download the mirror
    list. Then you can do, for example, 'apt-spy -a Europe -d unstable'.
    This will look for all mirrors located in Europe for the fastest
    responses on the unstable tree. This can take some time to run,
    depending on your Internet connection speed.
