That seems fine to me.

ad-hoc, i'd say ftp.germany.eu.net would be a reasonable default
server for Germany.  It's not on the official mirror list, but i know
that they are mirroring the distributions.  Short of this, "kuku"'s
gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de would also be possible (but i'm afraid of
overloading it -- Christoph?).
