Compare https://ftp.se.debian.org with https://ftp.acc.umu.se/ -- these look quite similar to me... The real reason is suggested by the "ftp." prefix: the site historically was supposed to be used via ftp, and still supports it. And ftp doesn't have such a thing as vhosts. Requiring a dedicated v4 IP is not a burden for a big 1st world mirror, but might be problematic for someone smaller, especially if they carry a number of projects other than Debian. Meow! -- A MAP07 (Dead Simple) raspberry tincture recipe: 0.5l 95% alcohol, 1kg raspberries, 0.4kg sugar; put into a big jar for 1 month. Filter out and throw away the fruits (can dump them into a cake, etc), let the drink age at least 3-6 months.
