Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Due to recent policy and routing changes on the New Zealand network
ftp.nz.debian.org is no longer accessable to the majority of NZ internet users.
Citylink, the company that maintains the mirror have had a policy in place for
some time which requires ISPs to peer at the Wellington Internet eXchange in
order for their customers to access the ftp site. Since yesterday, Feb 24th at
11am (due to peering policy changes at the two major nz carriers) the ftp site
became inaccessable from the majority of NZ debian users.
Error message is as follows:
sh-2.04$ ftp ftp.nz.debian.org
Connected to ftp.citylink.co.nz.
550- ISP Routing Error
550-
550- Sadly, we can no longer afford to provide this content to
550- entities that do not peer at WIX. Please contact your ISP
550- and advise them that they may well be able to fix this problem
550- for you by peering with other ISPs at the WIX peering points.
