stale apt-get mirrors?

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

what's the lag on various debian mirror sites?

	% apt-get update
	% apt-get upgrade

	% apt-setup /pick a different mirror/

i'd just switched from ftp-mirror.internap.com to ftp.digex.net
if that matters...?

	% apt-get update
	% apt-get upgrade
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    The following packages will be upgraded
      bind-doc elvis-tiny ncurses-term task-dns-server tcpdump
    xfree86-common xlib6g
    7 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not
    upgraded.
    Need to get 2718kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be
    used.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

so am i downloading old packages from a stale mirror? or did
this mirror just now get some updates? or maybe different
mirrors have different package subsets? hmm?
