I'm sure at least *one* would work.

You can use a program call apt-spy to generate a working /etc/apt/sources.list. You can specify an area, such as `Asia', `Europe', `North-America'. Or you can specify a country-list. You can specify a distribution to use, such as `stable', `testing' or `unstable'. I would recommend that you save a backup of your current sources.list.
After installing apt-spy, do an 'apt-spy update', to download the mirror list. Then you can do, for example, 'apt-spy -a Europe -d unstable'. This will look for all mirrors located in Europe for the fastest responses on the unstable tree. This can take some time to run, depending on your Internet connection speed.
