I am running a mixture of testing and unstable.

I tried using netselect-apt

I have a couple of concerns with it.

1. there seems no way of generating entries for both testing and
unstable files.

2. The utility returned mirrors that were not complete.

I am now using mirror.pacific.net.au which seems to have resolved my
problems.

mirror.aarnet.edu.au is missing some files and I have notified them of
this.
