Hi,

I noticed a couple of things about your Debian archive mirror:

o there is no trace file with the mirror's name at
  http://mirrors.melbourne.co.uk/debian/trace/
  You can set MIRRORNAME in ftpsync.conf to force the trace file's name.
  That should help make our monitoring at
  
https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-info/mirrors.melbourne.co.uk.html
  happier

o we recommend mirrors not sync directly from service aliases such as
  ftp.<CC>.debian.org (only http is guaranteed to be available at
  ftp.<CC>.d.o sites).  Maybe change your config to sync from
  the site currently backing the ftp.<CC>.debian.org service you sync
  from?

o The tracefile
  http://mirrors.melbourne.co.uk/debian/project/trace/woodbury
  suggests that the ftpsync version you are using is very old.  Please upgrade.

  Using a modern ftpsync ensures updates are done in the correct order
  so apt clients don't get confused.   In particular, it processes
  translations, contents, and more files that have been added to the
  archive in recent years in the correct stage.  It also should produce
  trace files that contain more information that is useful for us and helps
  downstream mirrors sync better.

Thanks,
