Since I don't know where the current PTS page reader is coming from, do we have a sourceforge-like mirror guesser/chooser which can redirect an absolute URL pointing into a generic Debian mirror to a country-based Debian mirror URL? We don't, but we should have. For example, the /distrib/ part of the web site links to ftp.nl.d.o for a lot of stuff. Switching to cgi.d.o/cgi-bin/download.pl or something analogous should be fairly simple... but then, somebody removed that script when packages.d.o got moved out. It wasn't a particularly good script (it didn't use Mirrors.masterlist), so I could just write a better one from scratch. But this is wholly off-topic for debian-devel - please bring it up in on debian-www or even better file a bug report on www.debian.org. I only saw this by accident... -- 2.

I'm pretty sure you had good reasons for that, and I was aware as well that de has good connection and is very reliable. Still, I was wondering if we have a redirector somewhere I was not aware of. If this is not the case I'll switch to ftp.de as well for the PTS. (Though that will be in some respect a pity, we have several mirrors and not a single one for a reason, after all.)

For source package we don't have anything like that. Feel free to write one, though ;) We could either put it on packages.d.o (like the binary download pages) or cgi.d.o (like the redirector for the website).
