Slow Debian mirrors

Up until a week or two ago, I had no problem getting decent download speeds (1 to 3 MB/sec) from Debian repository mirrors. But since then they have been awful. This morning, I tried three different ones, never getting over 400 kB/sec with any of them. I finished my updates using http.debian.net and got an average download speed of 222 kB/sec for 44.9 MB of data.

I have tried several results of "the fastest mirror for my location" as identified by netselect-apt. They are all about the same.

So, certain that the problem must be my connection or system setup, I test a random download of a 50 MB file. It came at 5 point something MB/sec.

What is wrong with the Debian mirrors?

Never mind, then. After shopping around through enough mirror sites, I finally found one that gave me good throughput. It is mirrors.gigenet.com. I just don't understand why so many of them are so slow.

I favor college servers. I get good results from local GaTech ones.
