Actually master.debian.org is extremely slow for me too. And I'm at U
of Texas, a huge site. But I get consistent 25% packet loss to master
during the day, all dropped courtesy of alter.net. 15 hops for me too,
btw.
If it's a problem, do what Ian J does for the uk people. Everybody in
Germany upload to your local machine. Then it uploads once a day to
master.debian.org. Just send him some email, and he'll give you the
scripts to do it.
