Change Debian mirror address in repository list
Good evening!
I have noticed, that in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/20_debian.list all repository addresses are http://ftp.debian.org/debian/. According to information from https://2ip.ru/whois/, repository server is located in Netherlands. I live in Latvia, and it would be more preferable for me to download from Swedish mirror: http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ (https://www.debian.org/mirror/list), which offers the fastest download speed (Latvian mirror is not so good).
So can I change repository addresses in 20_debian.list and 30_debian_backports.list to deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free (example)?
If no, is it possible to choose repository mirrors in Q4OS?

Yes, official Debian mirrors should be highly reliable, we can recommend to do so.
