We don't want people to directly contact mirrors providers, for some
good reasons :
* we want to filter false positive reports to avoid harassing admins
for nothing
* we want to be aware of issues on mirror
The recommended way is to report a bug against the mirrors
pseudopackage, as documented on
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages
Such issue can be discussed on debian-mirrors@lists.debian.org as well.

All my download tests from debian.mirror.rafal.ca (mind the difference)
were OK.
Is that still reproductible so that we can analyse it ?

I get same result from france, and 4% lost packets.
Do you still experience it ?

Can you tell us which are the packages reprepro complains about ?
We are not able to download the whole mirror and check the sums :)

Gulus is facing hardware issues, so it is unfortunately not
available, and has been removed from ftp.ca.d.os since 6th march.
