apt-get update on ftp.uk.debian.org
I read a number of posts reporting this problem, but none of the solutions they offered seemed to work in my case: My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this: deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de/debian etch main non-free deb-src http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de/debian etch main non-free When I run apt-get update, I get this: Get: 1 http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable/main Translation-en_GB Hit http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable Release Hit http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable/main Packages/DiffIndex Get: 2 http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/main Translation-en_GB Ign http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/non-free Translation-en_GB Hit http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch Release Get: 3 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/main Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/non-free Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/main Packages Hit http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/non-free Packages Hit http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/main Sources Hit http://apsy.gse.uni-magdeburg.de etch/non-free Sources Get: 4 http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Translation-en_GB Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Translation-en_GB Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/non-free Translation-en_GB Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org etch/updates/non-free Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Packages Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/non-free Packages Get: 5 http://dl.google.com stable Release.gpg [189B] Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Sources Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/contrib Sources Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/non-free Sources Ign http://dl.google.com stable/non-free Translation-en_GB Get: 6 http://dl.google.com stable Release [1298B] Ign http://dl.google.com stable/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://dl.google.com stable/non-free Packages Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable Release.gpg Could not connect data socket, connection timed out Get: 7 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Translation-en_GB Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Translation-en_GB Could not connect data socket, connection timed out Get: 8 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Translation-en_GB Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Translation-en_GB Could not connect data socket, connection timed out Get: 9 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/contrib Translation-en_GB Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/contrib Translation-en_GB Could not connect data socket, connection timed out Get: 10 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable Release [72.6kB] Ign ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable Release Get: 11 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Packages [4975kB] Ign ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Packages Get: 12 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Packages [91.3kB] Ign ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Packages Get: 13 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/contrib Packages [82.3kB] Ign ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/contrib Packages Get: 14 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Sources [1457kB] Ign ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Sources Get: 15 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Sources [32.9kB] Ign ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Sources Get: 16 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/contrib Sources [28.6kB] Ign ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/contrib Sources Get: 17 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Packages [6514kB] Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/main Packages Could not connect data socket, connection timed out Get: 18 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Packages [112kB] Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/non-free Packages Could not connect data socket, connection timed out Get: 19 ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org stable/contrib Packages [102kB] Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org

I confirm it has been unreliable recently. Sometimes works fine. Unfortunately other UK mirrors are iffy too. ftp.uk.debian.org is working fine for me at the moment. Allied to the problem so I will speak up: - Package netselect is broken for a large class of users, 6+ year old fatal bug misclassified as wishlist I guess someone thought that pass through firewall was a major code change, hence wishlist, is apparently not that at all. netselect-apt incorrectly complains about the firewall netselect fails silently. The above fails here as described. Here is one page with the fix, not sure if there are other places http://forum.soft32.com/linux/Bug-451889-FIXED-netselect-unable-find-mirror-ftopict467629.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The lenny version gives a result but the result seems to be almost meaningless. Ping time is not a measure of connection throughput, server overload, or mirror currency. A rewrite of netselect-apt which considered these attributes and also supported rsync would be a valuable tool if anyone is looking for a project. Meanwhile, whenever a mirror becomes sufficiently annoying, we select some candidates from http://www.de.debian.org/dmc/today/ and run manual benchmarks. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
