    Problem with netselect-apt

    I'm trying to use netselect-apt to find the best Debian mirror for me, but I'm having a problem with it.

    Code:
    compy:/home/akira# netselect-apt
    Using distribution stable.
    Retrieving the list of mirrors from www.debian.org...
    
    --08:44:41--  http://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full
               => `mirrors_full'

    Choosing a main Debian mirror using netselect.
    Running netselect to choose 1 out of 1 address.
    
    netselect was unable to find a mirror, this probably means that
    you are behind a firewall and it is blocking traceroute.
    Any suggestions?

    What country do you reside in? Why don't you just use the default:

    http://ftp.(countrycode).debian.org/debian/

    I use the us one because I live in the US and it works great get speeds up to 815KB/s.
