Hmm, I think you misunderstood what we meant. We were talking about all
sites end up with "9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok" with netselect. But Bug#451889
is a solved one titled netselect was unable to find a mirror.
$ sudo netselect -vv -s 999 debian.yorku.ca ftp3.nrc.ca gulus.usherbrooke.ca mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca mirror.peer1.net debian.mirror.rafal.ca
Running netselect to choose 999 out of 9 addresses.
debian.yorku.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
gulus.usherbrooke.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
ftp3.nrc.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
debian.mirror.rafal.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
69.90.119.52 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
69.90.119.57 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
69.90.119.38 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
69.90.119.41 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca 9999 ms 30 hops 0% ok
Looking at the bug report, I think netselect still works, but not for the
majority poor soles who connect to the Internet via ISPs, or behind their
corporate firewalls. (FYI, my ISP is the most open one, not a single port
is blocked, no username/password required while relaying my email, no dl
cap, no nothing, yet netselect can't go through)
