I don't grok that. I always use the ftp servers, on principle: .debs
are files, hence the use of File-tp, not HyperText-tp.

Except for this one, cos they don't provide ftp, and the http requests
*always* timeout.
Another one (which alternates with mirror.aarnet for title of least
likely to keep the mirror up to date :) is:
# UWA's mirror
#deb http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
#deb http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian-non-US/ unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free

actually reading it?
