How does the mirror selection work?

How does ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net determine which mirror it
redirects to?
Reason behind my question is that I just tried to install V14 on a local
debian machine, and 100% of all file-requests were redirected to
tde-mirror.yosemite.net - which isn't even on the same continent. Our
own mirror (ftp.fau.de) on the same AS would have been a much saner
choice. Or at least a random mirror in Europe.
This is not because the mirrors don't have the file. Random example:
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian/pool/main/t/tdmtheme-trinity/tdmtheme-trinity_14.0.0-r137-0debian7.0.0+pr17_amd64.deb
always redirects both my university-machine and my home-dsl to
tde-mirror.yosemite.net even though at least ftp.fau.de and
bg1.mirror.trinitydesktop.org have the file in Europe.
