Howdy, Here's the report: > Picking www.mirror.ac.uk never seems to work when I pick it > from the list of UK mirrors in any of the 3 or 4 installs > I've done in the last few months. > > I used to use this site for all my machines and it was always nice and > fast (unlike the official UK debian mirror) and up. However, there > was some funny business with this site a few months ago. > IIRC, the www.mirror.ac.uk domain was handed over to some 3rd party > to whom provision of the service is now contracted out. After some > downtime it reappeared, but the old lines in my sources list no > longer worked. > > The service originally provided at www.mirror.ac.uk now lives > at www.mirrorservice.org and very well it works too (just needed > a global-replace on the domain in my apt sources and I was fine). > Everyone in the local LUG who used www.mirror.ac.uk switched > to www.mirrorservice.org when it disappeared. > > I'd suggest providing www.mirrorservice.org instead/as well, and/or > figuring out what magic the new operators of www.mirror.ac.uk > need (suspect it's somthing like using www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/... instead > of www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/... ? Although that doesn't work for me > either). -- Matt
