Or preferably your nearest mirror e.g. for the UK
http://www.linuxdoc.org/mirrors.html#uk
Then just follow the HowTo link after selecting your nearest server.

thanks to everyone for help.
hmmm thought it might be to do with DNS. I have the machine set up as a DNS server but not a caching DNS server (because i never heard of one LOL) so if you know how to set one up or could point me in the right direction i would be gratefull.
I've looked through all the config files but can't see any options that would change things.
thanks sparkz
