ftp.gwdg.de really slow recently?

Hi, I have been using the apt repositories at ftp.gwdg.de for a while now. I have never had any problems with them. However, I have been observing lately that it has become really slow in the last month or so. Does anyone share this experience? Does anyone have any recommendation for a ftp mirror (preferably in us) that is updated reasonably quickly and has apt repositories mirrored? thanks, -- Osho
