connection issues to ftp.nz.debian.org
Hey,
On two of my servers running with different ISP's I've noticed
connection
issues in the last few days to ftp.nz.debian.org.
I can ping it, but can't connect via HTTP or FTP. This is both on my
flat
server (Snap) and my parents server (Slingshot). When I try from work,
which is connected to the WIX, it works fine.
hugh@hugh-laptop:~$ ping -c 1 ftp.nz.debian.org
PING ftp.citylink.co.nz (202.7.6.9) 56(84) bytes of data.

On an interesting note, I tried using debian.ihug.co.nz/debian which is
listed as a secondary server on http://www.debian.org/mirror/list. This
gave me the error.
hugh@hugh-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update
Hit ftp://debian.ihug.co.nz wheezy InRelease
E: Release file for
ftp://debian.ihug.co.nz/debian/dists/wheezy/InRelease is expired

When I try using netselect-apt I get the following:
hugh@hugh-laptop:~$ sudo netselect-apt wheezy

The fastest 10 servers seem to be:
http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/
http://debian.mirror.uber.com.au/debian/
http://mirror.transact.net.au/debian/
http://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/debian/
http://mirror.optus.net/debian/
http://mirror.optus.net/debian/
http://debian.nautile.nc/debian/
http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/
http://mirror.waia.asn.au/debian/
http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/
Of the hosts tested we choose the fastest valid for HTTP:
http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/
Writing sources.list.
Done.

Any thoughts? It used to work fine, and has only cropped up in the last
few days.
Cheers,
Hugh
