I don't know whether it's down or not, but there is
http://http.debian.net/ which should prevent users from being affected
by mirrors, which are down and it should also select the nearest mirrors.
Quoting it:
```
Advantages over a good old, specific mirror
No offline mirrors
No out of date mirrors
New mirrors are used
Load-balancing
Faster downloads (when APT is used, via parallel downloads)
Great on mobility
```
(Read "a good old, specific mirror" as "ftp.us.debian.org".)

read emails very much.
The best time to contact me is probably weekends when I have better
connectivity with good luck.
