apt-get update with ftp.tau.ac.il ?

[shaul]

Can you advise about using apt-get with ftp.tau.ac.il ? 

apt-get update seems to work fine with the following settings:

[04:08:40 apt]# cat sources.list
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib 
non-US/non-free
deb http://security.debian.org unstable updates
[04:13:14 apt]# grep -A9 -B2 http apt.conf
  
  // HTTP method configuration
  http 
  {
    Proxy "http://Proxy.israsrv.net.il:8080";

    Timeout "120";
    
    // Cache Control. Note these do not work with Squid 2.0.2
    No-Cache "false";
    Max-Age "86400";     // 1 Day age on index files
    No-Store "false";    // Prevent the cache from storing archives    
  };

[04:14:35 apt]#

Yet I can not get it to work with ftp.tau.ac.il.

[04:14:35 apt]# cat sources.list
deb ftp://ftp.tau.ac.il/pub/OS/Debian potato main contrib non-free
[04:18:31 apt]# grep -A14 -B3 ftp://Proxy apt.conf

  ftp
  {
    Proxy "ftp://Proxy.israsrv.net.il:8080";

    Timeout "120";
                                                                               
    ProxyLogin
    {
       "USER [EMAIL PROTECTED]:21";
       "PASS [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
    };

    /* Passive mode control, proxy, non-proxy and per-host. Pasv mode
       is prefered if possible */
    Passive "true";
  };

[04:24:27 apt]# apt-get update

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones 
used instead.

and this is printed after a pause during which apt-get tells me 
"0% [Logging in]"


BTW: What other Israeli sites keep up to date mirrors of debian ?
