I don't think it should fail more that once or twice.
Thanks for your report. ftp.us.debian.org is composed of several mirrors, so it's not easy to detect on which mirror it happens. If it happens again, can you check with a tcpdump or netstat -npt which is the IP used when it fails ? Remarks for mirror team: - none of the ftp.us.d.o mirrors use the recommended ftpsync - debian.lcs.mit.edu is one day behind while the other ones are in sync : ftp-atl.osuosl.org: Sun Nov 16 09:30:28 UTC 2008 ftp-chi.osuosl.org: Sun Nov 16 09:33:29 UTC 2008 ftp-osl.osuosl.org: Sun Nov 16 09:16:57 UTC 2008 ike.egr.msu.edu: Sun Nov 16 09:08:56 UTC 2008 debian.lcs.mit.edu: Sat Nov 15 08:59:10 UTC 2008 Best regards, -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
