If you have selected to use a network mirror during the installation (optional for CD/DVD installs, required for netboot images), you will be presented with a list of geographically nearby (and therefore hopefully fast) network mirrors, based upon your country selection earlier in the installation process.

A mirror can also be specified by hand by choosing “enter information manually” . You can then specify a mirror host name and an optional port number.
