Thanks. I'm now using Carsten Otto's updated ftpsync'd deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free So far so good. Even though I am in Taiwan, with my 1MB ADSL I never notice the difference. http.debian.net sounds like a round-robin deal like the ones we discussed last time.
