Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Picking www.mirror.ac.uk never seems to work when I pick it from the list of UK mirrors in any of the 3 or 4 installs I've done in the last few months.
I used to use this site for all my machines and it was always nice and fast (unlike the official UK debian mirror) and up. However, there was some funny business with this site a few months ago. IIRC, the www.mirror.ac.uk domain was handed over to some 3rd party to whom provision of the service is now contracted out. After some downtime it reappeared, but the old lines in my sources list no longer worked. The service originally provided at www.mirror.ac.uk now lives at www.mirrorservice.org and very well it works too (just needed a global-replace on the domain in my apt sources and I was fine). Everyone in the local LUG who used www.mirror.ac.uk switched to www.mirrorservice.org when it disappeared. I'd suggest providing www.mirrorservice.org instead/as well, and/or figuring out what magic the new operators of www.mirror.ac.uk need (suspect it's somthing like using www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/... instead of www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/... ? Although that doesn't work for me either). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
