That is what I have always done and is where we came

asked on the list about mirrors and Mike said that I should use the
redirector. I have now (after the recent conversation about how to chose a
mirror) reset my sources.list to use a named mirror. So I was only off a
named site for six days.
The redirector is still the correct official answer because you can
encounter inconsistencies or out of date information on mirrors.
But until the redirector can be moved to a first class data center
we maybe should reconsider that official answer.
OTOH IIRC you have just chosen a mirror which is not on Tim's
recommended list and which is currently two days out of date.
In your location I would use one of the mirrorservice.org mirrors
as they are capably administered by the University of Kent.
