Man, we gotta get ftp.debian.org into shape.  Let's catalog its
problems:

  * doesn't use rsync/push method, so, often out of date
  * doesn't allow many ftp connections (isn't it only 100?)
  * Debian ftp admins don't seem to have an account there (?)

I know that most people should not be using ftp.debian.org at all.
But still, those who don't know will always use it, and there will
always be a lot of them.

Can someone tell us the deal with santanni.cc.gatech.edu ?  

I would suggest some solutions but since I don't know the history, I
wouldn't want to spread FUD.
