IIRC this was discussed on the debian-www list a few years ago (I used
to follow the list when I ran a mirror; we were trying to help develop
this "website mirror" as well (well, we were helping inasmuch as we
had a machine with apache and rsync and 16G of debian archives :))

I think James Treacy was trying to get this going, but there were some
technical issues.  I don't remember all the details.  They may be in
the list archives.

Tip of the day:

The Official Debian mirrors are called

www.country.debian.org

e.g.
www.us.debian.org
www.dk.debian.org
www.jp.debian.org
www.de.debian.org
etc.

Easy to remember.  Would be easier if all country codes were
valid (as aliases of some country with a real mirror).

P.S. Has anyone considered making the www.debian.org name be DNS
round robin-ed amongst several of the mirrors (the mirrors would
then mirror e.g. www.master.debian.org).  This could distribute
load and increase uptime (if people hit reload on error).

Happy computing

Jakob

I couldn't get to it from work today, but I just now tried it from home and 
got right to it.

I've seen a few comments on list but not topic matching.

I cannot ping or get HTTP access to www.debian.org.  Anyone know what's
up, or have a mirror list handy?

Peace.
