Hello, this tool can be used for many purposes other than "selecting the fastest Debian mirror".

For example: Just now I had a big list of IPv6 tunnel brokers and wanted to find which one of them had the least latency for me.

Please restore it and disable the "netselect-apt" part of it, which obviously isn't useful to Ubuntu by default without an Ubuntu mirror list.

Lastly, you may take the following as a rant: Just because a mirror is in the same country, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the fastest or most frequently updated. Right now I'm using nl.archive.ubuntu.com even though I'm in Greece, as NTUA's mirror broke down once again a few days ago, and before that, Otenet (my ISP) stopped updating theirs a few months ago as well.

Cheers,
Antonio
