I'm sure at the time Debian wiki article was written the "kernel.org" 
site has not been under attack, so... (here are the points) do you 
understand that kernel.org and related sites where down recently and by 
that reason you were pointing to a server that could not be reached or 
have not updated data?

The one pointing to "kernel.org" mirror, of course.
