Ive put together a busybox netselect applet, it adds just over 4kB to a standard busybox build, its at http://people.debian.org/~bug1/busybox/netselect.diff It should be able to be used with the netselect-apt shell script to locate a close debian mirror, but i havent tested it yet. I think it should be able to be trimmed down a bit more, but have only put a few hours into it to so far. Glenn
