Again, actual error messages would be helpful.

That's normal. That's how the archive layout of Debian Ports looks like
and is owed to the fact that Debian Ports supports uploading packages
for the unreleased distribution per architecture.

The official mirrors use DAK, Debian Ports uses mini-DAK. The mirrors therefore
aren't comparable.

This will not work.

The all debs are mirrored on Debian Ports.
