The physical location of a server doesn't say much about how close it
is network-wise. ftp.nl.debian.org is in Amsterdam, but to reach it
from a town 30km away it goes via Frankfurt (as mentioned earlier).
Perhaps there should be aliases with the name of major ISPs, e.g.
ftp.cistron.nl.debian.org is the ftp site best suited for cistron clients,
ftp.uunet.nl.debian.org is for uunet clients, and
ftp.casema.nl.debian.org isn't reachable :) (casema is a cable ISP with
lots of problems).
