try apt-setup for alternative apt servers; and for unofficial
(not fully integrated by the debian.org team -- but they're
working *.deb packages nonetheless) try the ones listed at

	Operating_Systems/Linux/
		Distributions/Debian/APT_Sources/

or just

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #6 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
How do you keep text from SCROLLING BY TOO DAMN FAST? :)
Before pressing the ENTER key of a command that you know will
generate a lot of output, "pipe" it through your pager:
	ls -lR | pager
	locate tgz | pager
	grep -r pattern /home | pager
You can also try <SHIFT>-<PAGE-UP> to scroll back. This works
both at the console and in rxvt/xterm windows.
