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.
