Hello maintainers, I found your e-mail address here: http://www.debian.org/contact
I had detected a problem when I asked a question in a German Debian forum: http://www.debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=420815#420815 Someone gave me an answer that was rather useless to me: He gave me a URL that was a dead link. But: I found out that (nearly) all other people in this forum and in my circle of friends could resolve that link, but I could never resolve it in person. The problem: I have an Internet connection based on Alice-DSL. For me, the link http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/ChangeLog is a dead link. Some other Alice-DLS costumers cannot resolve that link, too. The server ftp.debian.org is only reachable via ping (and gives me the IP address 128.101.240.212), but never with: - wget - Mozilla - Opera - Microsoft Internet Explorer if I try that shortened URL: "http://ftp.debian.org". In the meantime, I suppose that the administrator of ftp.debian.org blocks any connection from Alice-DSL customers. Even the traceroute command gives me a result, perhaps you can make use of that: # traceroute ftp.debian.org traceroute to ftp.debian.org (128.101.240.212), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 lo1.brun-02.de-ber.hansenet.net (213.191.89.2) 56.924 ms 55.614 ms 55.933 ms 2 gi2-0-0.crju-02.fra.hansenet.net (213.191.88.34) 15.696 ms 15.651 ms 16.374 ms 3 ae0-0.prju-01.de-ber.hansenet.net (213.191.89.131) 16.666 ms 16.808 ms 17.020 ms 4 62.67.32.225 16.989 ms 17.449 ms 17.293 ms 5 ae-0-20.mp2.Berlin1.Level3.net (195.122.132.202) 19.352 ms 20.581 ms 21.776 ms 6 as-2-0.bbr2.London1.Level3.net (4.68.128.213) 43.485 ms 43.906 ms 45.382 ms 7 ae-0-0.bbr2.Chicago1.Level3.net (64.159.1.34) 127.533 ms 128.241 ms 128.464 ms 8 so-1-0-0.mpls1.Minneapolis1.Level3.net (64.159.4.210) 131.630 ms 131.620 ms 132.061 ms 9 ge-3-0.hsa2.Minneapolis1.Level3.net (4.68.112.18) 131.544 ms 131.506 ms ge-7-1.hsa2.Minneapolis1.Level3.net (4.68.112.14) 132.218 ms 10 p1-0.minnesota.bbnplanet.net (4.24.226.74) 133.678 ms 133.890 ms 133.890 ms 11 TelecomB-BR-01-V4002.ggnet.umn.edu (192.42.152.37) 133.839 ms 133.831 ms 134.514 ms 12 128.101.58.81 134.977 ms 143.246 ms 141.251 ms 13 debian-mirror.mirror.umn.edu (128.101.240.212) 132.491 ms 132.312 ms * Can anyone of you examine this problem and tell me what exactly the problem is? I think, it is not good that for some people the information in the Internet is censored.
