Re: Unique kernel with my own backup of all Debian repositories

I'm not too sure what you are trying to achieve.  It sounds to
me like you wish to either develop a Debian derivative, or make
a backup copy of Debian.  The IP blocking you see is probably
automated, and the result of your having done repeated access on
a system that might not have been sized to be mirrored directly.
I would suppose this is in place, so regular users can access to
these ressources without being impacted by numerous background
download tasks hammering the websites.

Please have a look at the mirroring page[1] to assess whether
you want to mirror the packages archive, and if so, how to do it
with tools tailored for such task.

In hope this helps!
