under How to mirror The recommended method of mirroring is with the so called ftpsync scriptset, available in two forms: - as a tarball from http://ftp-master.debian.org/ftpsync.tar.gz - as a git repository: git clone https://ftp-master.debian.org/git/archvsync.git the file http://ftp-master.debian.org/ftpsync.tar.gz is actually an * uncompressed* tar file, not a tar.gz file Regards, Will * * * *
