Thanks for pointing this out. I actually recommend that people use
jigdo irrespective of whether they have a fast or slow mirror.

You might also want to try ftp://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian with jigdo,
especially if you are in Chennai (it has been fast for me in Chennai).
As I write this, archive update is in progress though. (A file called
Archive-Update-in-Progress-rocky-mountain.csail.mit.edu.lock is
present there at this time).
