I'm also using the MSU mirrors. The netselect program can help you select the
fastest mirror. Here's some information about it:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-netselect
Also, in case you're interested, here's my primary entries in the sources.list
file. Please note that I'm running etch (testing), and you may prefer the
stable distribution:
#---------- Start ----------
