Building on the work of others.

This should answer the intent of your question.

Try these to get the fastest mirror regardless of hops.  Sometimes you can 
get faster transfers with more hops.  It'll take about 15 seconds to give 
results.

#!/bin/sh

for i in `jot 16`
  do
    echo -n "cvsup${i}           "
    traceroute -n cvsup${i}.freebsd.org 2>&1 | tail -1
  done | sort +7 -n

Or if you don't care about all the extraneous info here's another way.
I limited traceroute to 20 hops (if it's further than that just give it 
up.)

#!/bin/sh

for i in `jot 16`
  do
     MS=`traceroute -n -m 20 cvsup${i}.freebsd.org 2>&1 |\
      tail -1 | cut -f5,6 -d" "`
      echo  " "
      echo  "cvsup${i} $MS          "
   done | sort +1 -n

These are inefficient/slow, being sequential, a faster method would open 
multi processes and do them at the same time.  The fastest will be at the 
top but if it runs into a site that answer with a * ttl on the last hop it 
will be at the top.  If you want to build something in to catch this go 
ahead.  But hey, it's not for brain surgery or anything.

Greetings,

  hey, that only count the hops, I would tot avg ping response
  would be more interesting, so how about inside the loop, do
    echo -n "cvsup${i}   "
    ping -c 10 cvsup${i}.freebsd.org | tail -1
