The first three lines you quote are, of course, normal messages
from mirror. I have never gotten a message that included
"Failure at end of remote directory () because: timed out"
I have never had the problem with non-US, but have had it on
half-a-dozen US mirrors, always, with one exeception, on
../*/binary-all.
Since non-US was reorganized I have had to change my non-US
script to separate packager for the distributions:
/debian-non-US/dists/potato/non-US/[main|contrib|non-free]/binary-[all|i386]
