Ehrm, as everyone else seem to post their favourite European mirrors:
ftp.se.debian.org
Is quite fast for me (I might be somewhat biased, as I'm part of the group
administering that machine and that the machine stands approx. 1 block
from my apartment) and is connected to the Swedish backbone-net.
If you have problem with the speed from it, well tough luck, it's your
connection, not the machine, I can assure you.
