Right now it would make no difference if you would use it with or
without il.**** since they are _right now_ routed to the same IP=Server.
But that may change in the future.
So i suggest to leave the il.*** since it does no harm and when there is
actual a "lokal" mirror near you, you will instandly using it.

Of cource here you are:
<-------------------------------------------------------------------
deb http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe
multiverse
deb http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted
universe multiverse
deb http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted
universe multiverse
------------------------------------------------------------------->

and maybe for some extra apps a 4th line:
(Realplayer + Opera)

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial main

It´s not a problem to make mistakes. It´s allway a problem to _not_
learn from them.
And from my experience i have to say way to much ppl have a big problem
with that second part.
