Quite a few times I've "apt-get update".  I then check to see which

the actual ftp archive and sure enough they are not there. If I come
back some hours later and try the install again, it's okay.  Seems
like a lag somehow between the available packages list and the actual
packages appearing.

I can understand a little latency between updating various files on the ftp server, but it's now been broken for 3 days. I've been trying to pull the latest unstable from ftp.us.debian.org using the sequence 'apt-get update', 'apt-get dist-upgrade', and there are 16 packages that come back with 'no such file' from the ftp server. Who do I contact about broken ftp servers?
