Well then, I don't know what the problem is. Just checked my
sources.list and see that all entries using http.us.debian.org,
have been commented out. So I checked
www.debian.org/mirrors/mirrors_full.html
and see this under its listing:
[Quote on]
Comment: Primary mirror cluster for the U.S., rotated via a DNS
round-robin.
Don't mirror from this round-robin, pick one of the servers that's
best for
you and mirror specifically from that one.

So maybe thats why I have it commented out. Can't remember as that
may have been many, many moons ago. ;_)
Don't see anythhing about ftp.br.debian.org/debian tho. Maybe they
were updating themselves??
