The distribution archives page at <http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive> is woefully out of date. Most serious of all is the fact that the main archive is offline and has been for over a year. Of the 21 remaining sites listed (the actual mirrors), two thirds are either incomplete (i.e., not carrying potato) or no longer operational.
Here are the results of my attempts last night to verify each link
("gone" means a 404 or equivalent HTTP response, a 550 FTP response
or an empty directory):
1. http://archive.progeny.com/debian-archive/ gone
ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian-archive/ gone
2. http://debian.crosslink.net/debian-archive/ OK
ftp://debian.crosslink.net/debian-archive/ anonymous access not allowed
3. http://debian.ethz.ch/debian-archive/ OK
ftp://debian.ethz.ch/debian-archive/ OK
4. http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian-archive/ no potato
ftp://debian.linux.org.tw/debian-archive/ no potato
5. http://debian.mirror.solnet.ch/debian-archive/ gone
6. http://debian.org.ua/debian-archive/ ?
ftp://debian.org.ua/debian-archive/ ?
7. ftp://ftp.3logic.net/debian-archive/ ?
(The above two seem to restrict access to specific ip's from within Ukraine)
8. http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-archive/ OK
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-archive/ OK
9. http://ftp.egr.msu.edu/debian-archive/ OK

10. http://ftp.irb.hr/debian-archive/ OK

11. http://ftp.kreonet.re.kr/pub/Linux/debian-archive/ no potato

19. http://linux.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/debian-archive/ gone

(This has apparently moved to
http://linux.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/Linux/Debian/debian-archive/
ftp://linux.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/Linux/Debian/debian-archive/
however there is no potato)
20. http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/debian/debian-archive/ gone
21. http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian-archive/ gone
