Thanks a lot, and sorry for asking an already-answered question. I went
and checked debian.org (http://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full) for
the list of mirrors and nothing there about what you are telling me.
That's why I posted my message. I even used netselect-apt to regenerate
a sources.list. I guess that documentation needs time to adjust to
major changes like these.
