Hi,

I have a number of VPSs which I need to upgrade to Wheezy. During the dist-upgrade step I'm getting very slow download speeds from debian.org (<10kB/s), which is causing the process to take a very long time. Is there anything I can do to speed things up? Could anyone suggest e.g. a mirror I could add to sources.list? (I'm in Europe).

Thank you!
