Thanks Sven. Is this still a beta service or mature enough to be recommended to debian users? Hopefully there is a formal announcement on this. As it stands, httpredir is mentioned in many places. For example https://www.debian.org/mirror/list https://www.debian.org/mirror/ http://httpredir.debian.org/ and is all over the wiki (there are 145 hits for httpredir site:wiki.debian.org in google). Now I feel stupid for filing https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845769 today morning asking httpredir to be discussed in the debian-handbook. :FacePalm: raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
