That is synched from the country level mirror. If the CDN isn't working for you, use http://ftp.XX.debian.org where XX is your country so ftp.us.debian.org, for example.

I thank you for the clarification. All I need is, if possible, to get Debian running on the machine. The later the release, the better. My thanks to all of you. RLH

Debian 10 aka Buster /should/ still be in the regular repo, because it is LTS? It may well be that some mirrors don't want to carry it, I don't know. At least [1] seems alive.

I _thought_ you wanted to install Debian 10/Buster, and run tools like apt to install software. It is not clear to me what Debian 12 and older machines have to do with things. I should probably step out of this conversation. Sorry about that. Jeff

Which mirror did you choose? Can you reach it form a live system? Do you use netinstall? I also did and it didn't work many times, so consider DVD-1 and update it after installation.
mirror for debian 10
I need to install Debian on a old machine (1700 Mhz Celeron). I copied the installer image to USB stick and the installation appeared to go properly until I tried without success to find a Debian mirror which hosts Debian 10. RLH
