apt-sources, request for comments re new name

Hi,
I have packaged apt-sources, a nice little tool which tests a list of
mirrors for bandwidth. The debs and source package can be found at
http://www.geocities.com/sms_ie
I posted to this list before with an ITP, I have since learnt (reading docs
is so handy sometimes :) that I should have posted that as a bug against
wnpp. I will do so as soon as it can be decided what the package should be
named (and as soon as I can find someone to sponsor the upload, likely to be
a couple of months before I am out of the NM queue).
As it stands the package is named apt-sources, this is derived from the fact
that it writes an /etc/apt/sources.list file. It has been pointed out to me
that this name is confusing, so I am happy enough to change it once some form
of consensus has been reached as to what the name *should* be.
Suggestions I have received so far are apt-servers, apt-mirrors, and apt-spy
(although I have to admit to failing totally to see the logic behind
apt-spy). Any other suggestions? Which of these names best describes what
the package does in an intuitive manner?
Regards,
