It could just be that the service is down temporarily. The debian.net domain is available to Debian developers, who can self-register sub-domains for hosting unofficial or semi-official services. For example, this was done with snapshots.debian.org (as snapshots.debian.net at the start) while the service was initially implemented and its utility was proven. It was later made "official" as snapshots.debian.org. Either way, the point is that services under debian.net have no significant reliability or infrastructure requirements and may be self-hosted by a an individual in such a way as to not be resilient. Given the popularity of paste.debian.net, I would hope that it doesn't suffer from neglect, but I do not know for certain. As an unofficial service, it may not be easy to find out it its true state in that regard. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
