Hello Debian Mirrors Team!

I'm writing to you because we're having big issues (for days!)
downloading packages via httpredir.debian.org.

Certain packages fail with an "*Remote end closed connection*" error.

Examples:

    Err http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main
    libtext-soundex-perl armhf 3.4-1+b2
      Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection [IP:
    5.153.231.35 80]

    Err http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main usbutils armhf
    1:007-2
      Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection [IP:
    5.153.231.35 80]

It seems to be always related to the mirrors at 5.153.231.35 and
128.31.0.66.

Searches on the topic bring up many similar reports, and always these
IPs are involved:

  * https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/07/msg00132.html
  * https://github.com/rgeissert/http-redirector/issues/75
  * https://github.com/CGAL/cgal-testsuite-dockerfiles/issues/19
  * https://github.com/hypriot/os-rootfs/issues/38
  * https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-gate/+bug/1569348
  * and so on...

Perhaps you should remove those mirrors since it's months that they make
problems?

We do a lot of debootstrapping and this makes lots of builds fail.

BTW, thanks for keeping the (Debian) project alive!

Regards,
Udo Giacomozzi
