How about this text? I propose to insert it as the second paragraph. If you don't know which mirror to use or your system moves around a lot, you can use the mirror redirector service in your apt sources.list, which dynamically redirects package download requests to the best mirror available based on a number of factors such as location, architecture and mirror freshness. Use this address in your sources.list to use the mirror redirector: http://httpredir.debian.org/debian BTW Elena, I think the mirrors team could use some help if you are interested.
