Hello Paul,

I have contacted the SourceForge mirror admins who have identified a
problem on the HEAnet end and we're currently investigating.

Meanwhile it would seem that bug #752384 is erroneous. It assumes
SourceForge sync all files to all mirrors. They do not, Sf sync
auto-selected content to mirrors and have awareness as to where the
content is from their redirector. 

The problem is on the Debian end, you need to use the SourceForge
mirror selector and not assume we, HEAnet, are a full reference source.

Hope this helps,
C.
