Hi Joel, I don't know whether this relates to what you're saying, but a few days ago debian.org was down, and xubuntu.org was *incredibly* slow, both on my side and at http://www.isup.me, which told me both were flat out down. I just went to sleep, and upon waking the next day, both were doing well. Also, a couple days ago, using the Debian Wheezy 64bit network install, the debian.org default mirror didn't work, so I switched to the rit.edu mirror and it worked perfectly. I don't know if any conclusions can be drawn from my anecdotes, but if you collect enough anecdotes perhaps it can help you figure out what's going wrong.
