Maybe the first time you run up2date it should fetch a list of mirrors from 
somewhere and get you to choose a geographically close one.  Or perhaps it 
should use the locale info to randomly choose one it knows is likely close.

This being asked to death, indicating a large number of frustrated users in 
danger of missing out on security updates because they "tried up2date and 'it 
didn't work'".
