ftpmaster redirected me to debian-mirrors, who I emailed just now.
So maybe it was that or maybe it was just coincidence.

or maybe they are in the proecess of restoring the server and only this
one part had become available

ohh ... wait it just came back UP again
http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/binary-amd64/
It is all there now!

Hello,

Some time in the last 24 hours, archive.debian.org started returning
403 Forbidden when used as an APT repository:

According to:

http://archive.debian.org/README

"The following releases are archived on this site:

Archive  Releases  Directory
Debian   buzz, rex, bo, hamm,
 slink, potato, woody,
 sarge, etch, lenny,
 squeeze   debian/"

however, I am seeing this with lenny and squeeze¹.

Is this intentional?

If not, who should the problem be reported to?

Cheers,
Andy
