Universities of Kent/Lancaster had this taken off them a couple of years ago amid much annoyance at the time from academics and others. Now JISC are canning the whole service. Thankfully, the University of Kent at Canterbury carried on: they're still operating as http://www.mirrorservice.org - which currently maintains a full Debian mirror. I've always found them a "one stop shop" for most things and understand the admins to be very helpful when contacted.
It's too late to change now unless we delete it altogether, since we don't have time to contact UKC. Unless: http://debian.virginmedia.com/ [Telewest trading as Blueyonder used to maintain a Debian mirror and it looks as though it's been taken on in full by Virgin Media] In the interests of full disclosure: I am a Virgin Media customer but haven't yet had enough experience with the new management to judge.
