Automatizing apt-mirrors selection
I have ubuntu 15.04 on my PC and I have issues everytime I make an update or I install packets mirrors are so slow and it's almost impossible to download with an average speed of 20 KB/s.
I've tried to switch to other mirrors and test them until I find one that boosts up the download speed (all the servers have the same speed most of the time) but this method is a real time wasting one.
How can I automatize the selection of the fastest mirror for apt ? is there a script to ping mirrors and select the best one temporary ?
Thanks.

I've tried thenetselectbased solution, it's not what I'm looking for as it's selects a mirror by latency ( the closest one ) not the one with better bandwidth

I've tried the
netselect based solution, it's not what I'm looking for as it's selects a mirror by latency ( the closest one ) not the one with better bandwidth– storm

I saw this but netselect will rank mirrors by to latency not according to their download speed.
