Debian's WWW and FTP sites are down unbelievably often.  I think this
is a *major* reason why Debian is not more popular at this time.
Sure, there are mirrors, but a new user won't know where they are.

A: I'm thinking of installing/upgrading Linux on my computer.  What
   distribution do you think I should use.
B: I heard that Debian is really good.  Maybe you should give that a try.
A: OK.  I'll check out there WWW/FTP site.  Huh?  I can't connect to
   there site.  Maybe they don't exist anymore.  I guess I'll just
   install Slackware.

I think it would be a major step forward for the Debian project to get
more reliable FTP/WWW primary servers.

Just my opinion.
