Location does matter: I've attached a list of official mirrors: choose the
one that is nearest to you (I'm no geographer ;) ), and try that one.

Debian GNU/Linux - worldwide mirror sites
This file is broken up into two seperate mirror listings, that
being Primary and Secondary mirror sites. The definitions for
for these are as follows:
A Primary mirror site mirrors the entire contents (without
exceptions) of the Debian archive. The site has a country
based ISO code and may support Secondary mirrors for that
country beneath it. Obviously a site such as this would
have a high capicity link to the Internet.
A Secondary mirror site may have restrictions on what they
mirror (due to space restrictions) that being source code or
non-i386 binaries. Just because a site is Secondary doesn't
necessarily mean it'll be any slower than a Primary site.
In all instances, use the site closest to you for the fastest
downloads possible whether is be a primary or secondary site.
