Figuring out the fasted mirror for you

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@waterf.org>]

Here is a small script that finds the 10 fastest debian mirrors for you.

Just put the README.mirrors from the ftp sites in your current directory.
Then run the script:

#!/bin/sh
# Script to figure out the fastest Debian mirror sites
grep "\..*:/" README.mirrors| awk '{ print $1 };' | \
awk -F: '{ print $1 }' | fping -aef - | \
awk '{ print substr($2,2),$1 }' | sort -n| head -10
