For Debian there is apt-spy, maybe it's possible to adapt it to Ubuntu (it would need to use a different mirror list of course).
Quite easy:
Open the Software & Updates (you can also start this using the
software-properties-gtkcommand)Find the Download From dropdown and select Other
Choose the server you want:
If you click Select Best Server, the USC will go through a load of tests to find the server that's fastest in your location. Generally it will be a server close by.
For a lot more information on this, see the Ubuntu Community Documentation on Repositories

There is an extensive list of repository mirrors, including how up-to-date they are, here. If you click on a mirror it will give you the URL to use in your software sources (or source.list).
For CD image mirrors, see here.
