First - thanks for the effort, it's always a welcomed message to read. There is a mirror at debian.org.il but I suspect it's connected through an ADSL line and not very fast even if I'm connected through the same ISP (Actcom).
I run apt-spy from time to time and it mostly finds hosts in Europe (italy, belgium, france, germany). I can send you my current sources.list if you are interested. (It's a shame this utility can't average over multiple runs because the results vary widely from one run to another). I think it would be better if you could pull stuff directly from a main mirror abroad: 1. If one of the Israeli mirrors goes down for some reason (e.g. disk full as happened a few weeks ago) then the other one can serve as a backup. 2. If you mirror a mirror then you are one step behind the rest 3. You might get better performance over the university's line abroad than from the existing mirror.
