apt-spy is a better alternative to find fastest APT source.

# apt-get install apt-spy

netselect-apt it is less efficient than apt-spy in order to select the
fastest mirror, because its algorithm it considers the amount of jumps
and this it is not a good parameter to measure the speed of a mirror,
can happen that a mirror this closely together but also very
overloaded. The amount of jumps will be a value of importance if we
wished to overload the less possible Internet.
