   Is this a me-only problem? What is the reason for it?
  
  Try traceroute or host to see if the host resolves.  Can you reach it

 This is not the problem. I can access 'security.debian.org' and I can
 even access part of the www-server, '/dists/potato/' is there, only
 '/dists/potato/updates/' is missing.

The problem has been solved. It was a
nameserver-problem. security.debian.org resolved to the IP of
non-us.debian.org.

Not to sound paranoid, but Slashdot had an item in the last couple of days 
about MSN.  It seems that you cannot access it with any browser but IE, and 
possibly Netscape.  Maybe this is another facet of that?
