I used to like the U of Michigan archive--it was complete, up-to-date,
and *very* fast. But they seem to have dropped Debian, or shut out
non-university people, or something.

I don't really have a favorite right now. But if you want to get a sense
of the download speeds, there's a program called netselect that will
help. You feed it a list of hosts, and it tries them all and outputs
statistics. It's pretty cool.
