# 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.
