We would also appreciate if you can use another site to mirror from. The best choice in this case is probably debian.midco.net. To use rsync you simply do this: rsync -a debian.midco.net::debian . To get a list of exported items: rsync -avn debian.midco.net:: You can also use starting points within Debian if you don't want to mirror the entire archive. About the archive: dists/slink/main/binary-all 287Mb dists/slink/main/binary-i386 397Mb dists/slink/main/binary-m68k 234Mb dists/slink/main/source 760Mb dists/slink/contrib/binary-all 16Mb dists/slink/contrib/binary-i386 28Mb dists/slink/contrib/binary-m68k 1Mb dists/slink/contrib/source 56Mb dists/slink/non-free/binary-all 47Mb dists/slink/non-free/binary-i386 121Mb dists/slink/non-free/binary-m68k 2Mb dists/slink/non-free/source 192Mb To get an impression of diskspace needed.
