It looks to me like netselect (or the actual underlying program-e.g. traceroute) could not get to the destination at all-hence the maximum hop count and max times. Try a traceroute to one of the sites and see what you get.

We were talking about all sites end up with "9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok" with netselect. But Bug#451889 is a solved one titled netselect was unable to find a mirror. $ sudo netselect -vv -s 999 debian.yorku.ca ftp3.nrc.ca gulus.usherbrooke.ca mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca mirror.peer1.net debian.mirror.rafal.ca Running netselect to choose 999 out of 9 addresses. debian.yorku.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok gulus.usherbrooke.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok ftp3.nrc.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok debian.mirror.rafal.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok 69.90.119.52 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok 69.90.119.57 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok 69.90.119.38 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok 69.90.119.41 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok Looking at the bug report, I think netselect still works, but not for the majority poor soles who connect to the Internet via ISPs, or behind their corporate firewalls. (FYI, my ISP is the most open one, not a single port is blocked, no username/password required while relaying my email, no dl cap, no nothing, yet netselect can't go through) -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
