Yes, I meant "the first of the records returned in the instance of host
below"

When doing updates, apt-get will connect to different A records of
security.debian.org, but the connection to 82.94.249.158 will always be the
slowest (at 5KB/sec) resulting in very long update times.

I saw that others also reported problems with tartini.debian.org
(82.94.249.158). Was anyone able to find out the cause? Where should one 
file a bug?

Thank You,
