Try the mtr or traceroute command to see if it is not perhaps a server
inbetween you and ftp.debian.org. For me I am not having any problems.
Another good tool is netselect to find a mirror which is faster for you.
# netselect -vv ftp.debian.org ftp.us.debian.org http.us.debian.org \
http.us.debian.org debian.midco.net
ftp.debian.org 211 ms 12 hops 80% ok ( 8/10) [ 578]
ftp.us.debian.org 152 ms 15 hops 100% ok (10/10) [ 380]
http.us.debian.org 218 ms 13 hops 90% ok ( 9/10) [ 556]
http.us.debian.org 203 ms 12 hops 80% ok ( 8/10) [ 556]
debian.midco.net 183 ms 9 hops 90% ok ( 9/10) [ 385]
380 ftp.us.debian.org
You should also try and use the {http,ftp}.us.debian.org sites rather
than the straight {http,ftp}.debian.org sites for apt. The .us. sites
are on a round robin dns so will spread the load out over several
different sites.
# nslookup http.us.debian.org
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
