So if you live closer to New York than to Indianapolis (that's where debian.org is registered) in terms of server hops, usually also but not necessarily geographically chosing the Columbia University mirror would make sense.
http.debian.net should act as load-balancer/redirector and select the best mirror automatically. You can test it here. In my experience, some mirrors do occasionally encounter the odd problem during package updates.
