Could be a Sunsite problem, too.

Not our intention. Debian's probably a more complete FTP archive than
Sunsite, and there are around 70 mirrors. All of the source is on every
one of those mirrors at all times. In fact you can go download our
_unreleased_ stuff from most of those mirrors - look under "hamm" for
Debian 2.0 . We also _insist_ that anyone who sells the "Official" CD
ship the source code CD with every unit, and that two-CD set sells for
$4.99 . We aren't hiding anything.
