please consider showing list of apt mirrors to choose from

[themusicgod1]

Debian's package managers have had this option on install since the early 2000s.

steps to find this
1) Click gear in top left hand corner
2) Software & Updates
3) Other Software tab
4) add

the window then asks for "APT line:", ie something to insert into /etc/apt/sources.list -- of course what we should be doing here is adding our own mirror from the many mirrors in places like https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors - but it would be far better for this (or some) list to be provided, and for the user to click on one of the available mirrors, in addition to having the ability to manually enter an 'apt' line here.
