The answer to most of you question about our configuration is "It is so
due to historical reasons." :)
I will address your suggestions in-line with updates of our configuration.
I have noticed, that ftp.si.debian.org is an alias for ftp.debian.at.
Can we get that to point at our mirror?

Thank you for the reminder. I have now set the mirror sync rate to 4x/day. I
have also started a manual sync to get up to date.
Until now the mirror was syncing regularly once per week.
Thanks.
o The trace file at
http://ftp.arnes.si/pub/packages/debian/project/trace/ftp.arnes.si
does not contain much information.
Please use our ftpsync script to mirror Debian.
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/project/ftpsync/ftpsync-current.tar.gz
Using a modern ftpsync ensures updates are done in the correct order
so apt clients don't get confused. In particular, it processes
translations, contents, and more files that have been added to the
archive in recent years in the correct stage. It also should produce
trace files that contain more information that is useful for us.
I will work on this and report back.
o Do you think you could make an alias for
http://ftp.arnes.si/pub/packages/debian/
at
http://ftp.arnes.si/debian/
to have the archive available at a more standard location?
The mirror is now available at a new location which is consistent with
our mirror policy.
http://ftp.arnes.si/mirrors/debian/
https://ftp.arnes.si/mirrors/debian/
o Also, is there a reason you have rsync, but don't offer Debian via it?
Debian is now available via rsync:
- rsync://ftp.arnes.si:/mirrors/debian
- ftp.arnes.si::debian
Cheers,
Kind regards,
